straight pipe is loud and sounds sick... I would do it but need it too be a little more mellow.. so the flowmaster 40s and true duals are the way I went.....also rear cat delete... glad I am not in Cali...lol

Same here! I think there would be more than a few very angry people if that were the case in Wyoming.

every other truck in NNY has straight pipes... my old 97 f150 did... but I like the mellower flowmasters.... guess because I am older and have a kid its nicer.... plus a little quieter when going by the PO-PO....lol

I cut my muffler off and dumped it. I like it but I really want to run it to the back or do side exit in front of the tires on both sides. Not sure it would work on the driver side though.

my true duals dump behind the pass rear tire almost looking stock.... but one day I am gonna change it to dump on each corner just outside of my trailer hitch....... on my old 97 f150 I had cut off the muffer and welded a 3" pipe that dumped right in front of the pass tire and had an angle cut... that was freaking loud and cool but dont want it that loud now a days,,,lol,.... never thought I would say that but I guess it happens when you have a kid...lol

It now has a turn down and muffles the sound some but not much.

sounds good.... I am thinking of removing my 40s next time my exhaust has to be redone... pipes only last 2-3 years with all the salt NY uses

Thinking about doing a true straight pipe. I suspect clogged cats. Not paying an arm and a **** to replace them. My mustang had cats removed plus a flow master 40 and sounded amazing. Hoping to get the 5.4 to sound similar.

I cut mine off after the cat on my 5.4 and it sounded MEAN. Window shaking, alarm setting off MEAN. If that gives you any inclination of how yours would sound, do it. **** a muffler.
