I have LT headers, a CAI and a Cherry Bomb Extreme. NOT real loud at all at idle, NO drone at all. VERY LOUD when you get on it and the headers made it very deep.

I have a sh*tty video on YouTube, taken with my phone, but you'll get some idea:

Got bored and cut off the muffler, and surprisingly it's the sound I was after. Hardly any popping, veeery deep. Not too loud either. Gonna reroute everything to exit behind the tires and call it done.

be interesting to see a chassis dyno run before and after to see if the loss of back pressure hurt the HP at all...

If I had the money and a dyno near by I would be glad to do one. I can just clamp the Flowmaster back on but after seeing the garbage that came out of it, id rather not.

My plan is to replace the factory Y with a magnaflow Y and run it to an X to get regain some back pressure. Then run it out the sides either in front or behind the rear tires. It used to be dumped but I want a new look.

Don't really wanna deal with the labor fees so I plan on buying myself a welder and just using clamps and the hardener stuff for now.

Been tracking my gas mileage via fuelly. And I am pretty surprised. Without the muffler, I was getting between 15.5-16.5 MPG. After I put my muffler back on I am back down to 14-15. Gonna get rid of the muffler next week and get a more free-flowing.

I just came across this thread and this is pretty interesting, BassMaster your saying your getting better gas mileage without any mufflers? I use to have a cherrybomb glass pack way back when and it sounded throaty as hell inside the truck and out, and I was given a flowmaster by one of my good friends and swapped it out and damn it is much quietter overall I actually miss the glasspack. I am actually about to hack it off tomorrow and see how my truck sounds without a muffler.
