I agree with the above. It should sound the same. But I understand where you're coming from with that question.
Get a good 2.5" midpipe/catback and it will sound better.
Note: Remember, LOUD doesn't actually mean it sounds GOOD.
I heard a '03-'04 Mach 1 the other day and he was running straight pipes. It was loud as hell but sounded like shiz and was very obnoxious. True car guys can tell if you're just TRYING to be loud or if it IS loud.
