So I removed my rusted out muffler and tailpipes on the weekend, but have not reinstalled a muffler. I just left the intermediate pipe coming out of the back of the cat. I actually like the sound of the exhaust running through the cat alone - kinda "growly" without being too loud.
However, I know my wife doesn't like it very much, so I will likely install the muffler - - sometime ![]() ![]() Any thoughts? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I have had it that way for about 4 month now. No problems. I think my cat is plugged anyways.

replace the cat, and have tailpipes run out like stock. i've got the same setup on my 91 with dual tailpipes out the back. i didnt care for it at first, becuase i like a low rumbly exhaust note. its actually starting to grow on me.

Re: Cat Only Exhaust?

So, your only problem I really see here is a little bit of toxic fumes entering into the cab while your driving, probably not something you want with winter coming up, just in case you ditch your rig and have to sit with your engine running for heat. |

Thanks for all the feedback Guys - good points.
After driving the truck for a while like this, it's starting to annoy me a little ![]() So, looks like me and my mig will be spending some time under the truck this Saturday, replacing the muffler. Glueing steel together with fire - cool... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
