Sorry dude, Put the muffler back on so you can blast down the road without worry of a ticket.... ;)

I had straight pipe on my 86 GMC back in the 90's. I had just dropped a 350hp GM crate motor (aluminum heads etc) with a nice set of headers. It sounded very sweet at low RPM and sounded like a beast at wide open throttle, very manly. But, after just a few weeks I finally ordered some flowmasters and put them on. What got me to do it was the cold morning start ups with a medium rev going on while it warmed up.

You'll have to put it back on when you get it inspected, won't you?

Geez, have you been talking to my son? He insists on running straight pipe on his S-10 and I think it sound terrible. You can't cruise on the highway because everything from the mirror to the sliding back glass rattles.

Put a muffler back on it. Your hearing will thank you!

BTW do you ever go to the cruise in at Pilot Mountain?

Re: Help a guy out.
 

Put Cherry Bomb glasspacks on it they sound amazing.

Mufflers!

Re: Help a guy out.
 

Magnaflows! Straight pipe mufflers! I run duals on my truck.

its fun being a rebel :metal:

Re: Help a guy out.
 

Yea put some Flowmasters on there. 2 chamber will do it!!!

Re: Help a guy out.
 

If you want to loose power, go ahead and install flowmasters. They are nothing but sound making mufflers. If you want sound (actually above 2000 RPMs) and straight pipe power, use magnaflows.

Re: Help a guy out.
 

glasspacks will give you a better exhaust tone. I hated my straights they droned in the cab at cruising speed. I'm afraid your moms right, also back pressure can be a good thing.

Re: Help a guy out.
 

thats right, or you next post may be look'n for a camper !
striaght pipes are cool for a few day's, then they just get on EVERY ones nerve's.

I help'd a neighbor kid put header's and FlowMasters on his K10, my and his Mother both was sure glad when he sold the truck !

Re: Help a guy out.
 

heck let the neighbour(s) know your saving up for new mufflers,
might find them (mufflers)on the doorstep after a couple of weeks of this lol

Re: Help a guy out.
 

hay man i live in n.c to and you will still have to put them on when you get it inspected. if you still want it to be loud get a set of flow master 10s. they will still give you the sound and you wont have to worrie about the cops.

Re: Help a guy out.
 

Heck put mufflers on and add some electric cut outs.

Re: Help a guy out.
 

i agree with sillyoldman. then you can flip the switch and scare ppl!! lol

Re: Help a guy out.
 

Yes i know but all i would have to do is clamp it on and take it off with 2 bolts lol. and yeah i went to alot of the cruise ins last year whos your son? and i will probably end up getting flowmaster 10s and a cutout

Re: Help a guy out.
 

im gonna get flow 10s for my truck to. i cant wait to hear that rumble

Re: Help a guy out.
 

cutout would be a good compromise. And you can flip a switch and set of all the car alarms at walmart.

Re: Help a guy out.
 

Assuming by your user name that you're running an inline 6 cylinder, no one will be impressed by the sound with no muffler. I ran a split exhaust (duals) on a Chevy 6 with Thrush glass pack mufflers, the truck sounded like a Honda.

Install a stock muffler or a turbo muffler and behave yourself. LOL. Save your reputation. LOL!

Re: Help a guy out.
 

I didn't notice it was a straight 6. they do sound odd without a muffler. kinda like a lawnmower and a loud honda had a baby

Re: Help a guy out.
 

if you really like the straight pipes, then get two used glasspacks or buy those cheap cherry bomb ones, and simply take the fiberglass out and weld a pipe through it. if someone looks and sees that there are mufflers there how do they know theres a pipe welded through.

just watch out for how loud it is. thats not saying you still might get pulled over for sound.
