Yea you might want to run some more pipe instead of just dumping it under the cab. It'll start to get real annoying real fast.

Yup even then the drone will get annoying to you. I ran it that way for about two months before I urgently felt the need to fix it.

Back pressure. You'll lose a lot of low end power. Not to mention the annoying popping sound.

And nope. I changed it after a month or two. Now I have a magnaflow si/do. Sounds great, I love it a lot more than straits.

I feel like I've got a bit more push but I'm probably just excited
I want something as noticeable as straights
But there's no harm to your car from it

Thats probably because your not used to the sound so your running it harder to hear it louder. And look at a set of hi flow cats a dynomax bullet it you want loud that will sound good.

I took off my system once to change the clamps, left it off for a few days. It was right about where the bed starts, ya, it got annoying and I actually felt power loss. It sounded like I was driving a 1977 Chevy pickup instead of this modern looking truck. When the time comes, and money allows, it's time for long tubes and a Lightning true dual Bassani system!!!

cutting a muffler off is not straight pipes. learn terminology before starting a stupid thread and sounding like a immature ginger.
