who has it and has anybody got any tickets?

Have had straight pipe on last two trucks. Cummins and now LMM, and never any issues. As long as you are not Disturbing the peace, you should be fine.

I got a 4" down and back no kitty no muff. 7" tip dumped just before the rear tire. Got a ticket last month for disturbing the peace. It's louder outside but inside with the windows up and the radio on it isn't that bad. When im passing cars on the street it sounds like the wall camera from a nascar race.:cool:

no ticket yet, been without a muffler for almost a year.

I have been pulled over three times in two months. One cop turned around to follow me only because of the loudness.......of course I did manage to burn rubber through the first three gears.....:)

Havnt got pulled over yet

I have not had any issues with cops in my area, it has only been about seven months now.

almost a year and no issues yet , it not noticeable difference in the cab but out side its much louder then it was with the muffler on it ,as long as u dont drive like an ass all the time you should be fine

Both of my trucks, my 02 and 03 have been straight piped since they left the dealership brand new and no tickets.

I love the sound of mine. Its so quiet inside that I usually keep a passanger side window cracked just so I can hear it. It is pretty loud at idle, so I am sure people in parking lots are bothered by it but I am all about loud exhaust.
As long as you dont go racing from stop light to stop light all the time you should be fine, just be cautious of your location.

My .02

Mine has been straight piped for over a year. No tickets or problems with cops.

I havent been through emissions testing yet, but they only scan for codes.

i have had mine for over a year with no muffler and no cat and have had no problems the cops around here like to hear it haha

just got the muff delete!!!!!! it sounds like a freakin flyby!
awesome

My truck has been straightpiped since a week after I got it. No problems with the cops

I first added a Flowmaster muffler (removed the factory) about 6 years ago and then about 4 years ago I added a Y pipe before the muffler and straight pipe the new side.

Never had an issue with the law.

Havnt got pulled over yet

Thats because you technically live in the sticks... or is that Menniffeeeee?

just got the muff delete!!!!!! it sounds like a freakin flyby!
awesome

Where you live IMHO it will be a matter of time kinda anal up there.. in SB county..
Good luck though..

Straight pipe here and I don't think its really loud enough to get a ticket?

I have the ANSA silverline exhaust with a "muffler" that you can see straight through. How do you think that compares to a straight pipe?

you would be supprised at the difference it makes.

Had Mine For Almost A Year And Have Been Pulled Over A Couple Of Time For Other Violations Never Said A Word About My Exhaust.

Straight pipe is'nt that loud in my opinion, I had it and then went to a stack and it still is'nt that loud.

does going to a straight pipe on stock exhaust help at all with the EGTs??

Ive never used stock exhaust, I have 4" on my 02 and 5" on my 03, but a friend of mine has an 02 with stock sized exhaust cause he wont buy aftermarket exhaust cause its a "waste of money" till his goes bad, but he cut his muffler out and he claims that it lowered his temp at the manifold bout 200* when towing his backhoe around. But thats his claim.

I have teh same muffler. mine was straight piped for a while (did it the cheap way, unbolted it right before the stcok muffler and stopped there, made the cab resonate pretty bad) then i took Silverlines down pipe and put the muffler right on the end of that and added a bit of tube the put a 6" down turn tip. To me it quited the sound of the motor out the exhaust but it still had jsut as much whistle.

Its kinda cool cause in my cab with the radio down and the windows up all it sounds like an 8.1L but as soon as you drop the windows all you hear is whistle and then some motor when you hit the higher RPMs

4'' turbo back straight pipe here. been pulled over plenty of times but never heard anything about being too loud. its pretty quiet in the cab but when you put the windows down it sure seems loud. it can set off car alarms pretty easy.

Did anyone notice a change in power when going to a straight pipe? Any loss in torque?

Sorry for hijacking the thread.

i noticed a little bit more lag on take-off. nothing huge but noticable.

:mad: I just dropped mine off in the shop to put a magnaflow on mine (got a ticket) I'll see if I can notice any power difference but I'm probably going to right back to straight pipe. The shop told me their going to have to cut my 7" tip off

I didnt notice any power loss but it was stock at the time and no tickets for me I didnt think it was that loud untill you matted it but that me:D

It feels like i have a little more low end power but i don't care for the muffler it sounds like s**t the old lady laughed when she heard it :idiot: Go 4" straight pipe or leave it stock.

Well, I just put a straight pipe on mine. I will have an answer to how loud and how much low end I lost after work.

All I have to say is. The hell with a muffler. I bought my truck with a magnaflow catback. So I just removed the muffler and installed the sraight pipe. It sounds great. Not as loud as I thought it would be.

My 01 is stock size straight back. Never had a prob "kock on wood". It is a little loud but I don't voice it in town unless one of those clowns with the 150 DB radio BS is next to me.:eek: Then I'll let her set and talk a bit just to equal things out:D

Amen:bow:

I just got the ticket signed off and im rockin the straight again. The exhaust shop put the muffler in the perfect spot all i made a make shift quick connect for it too so anymore rosco's come at me like thier chuck norris i'll throw it back on :ro)

hey where in sonora do you live. ive got a house off of jamestownroad and mt brow

Anywhere we can hear a clip of stock vs straight pipe?

Corn dog I live right up the street by the red church across from the airport is your house on the corner

naw but i know exactly where your talking about. theres a little burgandy pick up in the carport though. red house big open field next to it and behind. old guy who sits outside sometimes

If needed I could prob take a quick video of just straight pipe no stock comparison.

my 6.5 is straight piped and i havent had any problems....but idk how much of a difference there is between it and a dmax

thanks guys

I had a cop spin round an chase me down an threaten to impound my truck cause it didnt meet "GM specs"
