Exhaust sound?

With the newer quiet engines in the 3rd gens. How do they sound compared to a 2nd gen 24v? Thats one of the things i love about that truck is the way it sounds. Not the annoyance that it gives people. I try and be nice. but i like to my baby run!

So if i open up that exaust Can i get close to the same sound as my 99? Im not so worried about the idle. But runnin down the road or cruisin through town.

On a happy note. Buddy of mine bought a 93 ford powerstroke and cut it straight off right under the cab, yeah when he floors it and lets off the thing sounds like my 360!

From my experience, the 03 w/ a straight pipe sounded like my straight piped 02 until I got over 2000 rpm. That is when the 03 starts sounding different, and in my opinion, not in a good way. Under heavy acceleration it pops and sounds raspy I guess would be the word at around 2300-2700 rpm. I also didn't care for the way it sounded at a 70 mph cruise but you only notice this when next to a wall, car, or overpass.
