Straight pipes w/cats?
Right now my truck has a glasspack muffler and I have it dumped before the rear axle. I'm to the point now where I don't even notice it so I now need to make it louder. I'm thinkin of cuttin my muffler off and just runnin cats. How much louder can I expect it to get?

True-duals straights are going to sound better than just a single straight pipe...

what year is your truck? I have a 2004 with cats and strait pipes. In 04 i guess they put 4 cats on and in 05 and up changed it, so i have decent BP. I like it, sounds good.

High flow cats, true duels with x-pipe and dynomax bullets.

It'll sound great, have excellent performance, and easily be as loud as straight pipes with stock cats.

Nice suggestion but just cutting my muffler off would be A LOT cheaper than that setup lol
