Diesel Delete Pipe

What are you trying to accomplish? more power? more sound?
I know of lots of guys running a full straight pipe, alot more turbo whine, sounds good IMO up until about 2500rpm, then it gets too loud for me when in the city. I deleted my cat and put in a magnflow muffler, more turbo whine (but not lots like when straight piped) and a nice throaty V8 sound. You can buy cat delete pipes and muffler deletes, but its honestly probably cheaper to just take it too an exhaust shop and have them weld in a piece of pipe for $50.
As for power increase, you wont notice much, seems to spool up the turbo a bit quicker off the line.

I want the sound of my Diesel not the muffler sound! I'am intrested in the amount of cab noise. The local muffler shop told me there will be a little more noise without a muffler but not much. If I remove the cat it will be loud
my cammed stang makes this sound ......bubbubbubbbbbubbubbbubbbub
my 6.0L makes this one.....szszwszszszszszszszs with some grrgrrrrgrrgrrrrgrrr all at the same time
but...
If you want mean turbo whine (the szsszszzs sound) with lots of noise, delete cat and muffler.
If you want semi-mean turbo and throaty V8 sound, delete cat and install magnlflow muffler (what I did)
If you want just a slight V8 throaty sound, leave cat in and install magnaflow (this is what I did at first, but it is a barely even noticable sound)
I don't know what a muffler delete with the cat still in sounds like.
If you got money burnin a hole in your pocket and want the best performance, shell out for a full turbo back 4" stainless MBRP kit or any other brand of your choice.

Nothing is sexier that hearing the whistling noise of a 6.0 PS Diesel if you want sound try a Cummins powered Dodge with no cat no muffler sounds like a freaking semi. 6.0 PS Diesel whislting noise is just as good as listening to a high revving V12 Ferrari nice concerto. Ok lets not forget about the mustangs too they are cool too.

yep, been there and done it: you can get a delete pipe for the stock exaust thru "rpmoutlet". as far as in cab it's not that much louder, outside it is scary loud, ecpecially when you pass somebody on the gas, turbo whistle is loud about 5 seconds after you start the engine it starts to whine like a jet engine, the only downfall there is resonance at certain times when you get on it. if you where to jam it off the line it sounds like a big block and people look. hope that helps

Yes it did help! I removed the cat and the turbo has no lag. Before if you put your foot to the floor and count to 4 before anything happened. The down side if I use the extra boost my mileage drops.I need to train my foot and keep the rpm's under 2000. The cat was black and with a flashlight I could not see through it. I can not here any difference with the cat removed.
