Will puting a strait pipe (not cat or muffler) on my 6.0L be benificial or does it need back pressure to run properly

Do you have a programmer on your truck? A few stock 6.0's have set CEL's with a straight pipe not many though

I had a straight on my'05 and it ran great!!! No check engine lights, no problems just great performance and a whole lot of cool whistle!!! I did it myself, and could change it back to stock pretty easy, infact I kept the whole set up when I sold it. I say put it on and enjoy!!

like these guys say, it's GOOD..

SOME, and i say SOME people have complained about losing some low end power, but this has only been with BONE STOCK trucks, and i'm still hesitant to believe that anyway, i've never known a turbo vehicle to need any backpressure to run right.

My Gf's Neighbours complained about my truck being to loud and that I needed a new muffler. Well I told them I just had a brand new muffler put on a month ago but its so loud because its an after market turbo..... They believed me and havnt said anything since. I had to make something up they had threatened to call me in... go figure.


Now I dont have a muffler or a new turbo. just your regular straight piped 03 6.0 that sounds insane!!! I love it.

Recently went straight pipe myself and if you think those videos sounded good, it sounds bada** when your in gear and get on it. :woot: I also think the turbo spools up just a little faster. Next comes the gauges and then SCT. Just want to improve the fuel mileage, well thats what I tell myself, but, it sounds so good when you get on it, I have a hard time controlling my right foot.:D

IMO, straight pipe on a 6.0 sounds crappy.

i love the way the 6.0 sounds with a straight pipe on it. BTW Dealer warrantied the truck for Head gaskets with the gauges, airraid and stock straight piped exhaust on it.

Are you talking about your truck? If so where did you go? I may start a thread in the Oklahoma section for what dealer everyone has used.
