Default a complete muffler removal

what do you guys think it would sound like if i just removed my muffler and kept it as a single pipe, because i heard a mazda truck today with a 3.4 he said that he just took off the muffler and it didnt sound bad at all and im wondering if a muffler removal for my 3.8 would sound just as good the only difference is that he had his cats on one pipe where as mine are as we know on two different one that form as a y.

do not put a glasspack on a sixer they sound like crap just get a flowmaster 40 series yes alot of people have them but they give the six the best sound and are still cheap
40 Series Delta Flow 2.25" C/O [942442] : Flowmaster Inc. Exhaust Shop, Love That Sound! - delta
http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/pr...oducts_id=3431 - super 40
both are good super 40 is the more aggressive sounding one not alot of difference

your stock one should be clamped but it could be modified by one of the previous owners the flowmaster you can weld or clamp on whichever you choose to do

explain how much money you think he put into it? what do you mean GT everything?


OP in my opinion find a cheap set of gt take offs and find some used flow 40 mufflers and weld it all up together. you wont regret it
