what are the pros and cons of having straight pipe ive heard its not good for it and ive heard its not going to hurt anything any anwsers

Not going to hurt anything, unless it's a 6.7 and you don't have a good delete kit.

The turbo provides any back pressure needed.

That, and it's loud! I like mine...

All the straight pipe 3rd gens I have heard are loud...(my opinion)
It's definitely not going to hurt anything...if anything it will be better off, but you'll probably be happiest with a Cat delete and your choice of high performance/straight through muffler.

I think I'm going to have to straight pipe mine to hear it, or I'm going deaf. I have a straight threw cat., and a straight thru MBRP muffler, and to me it sounds stock. Now it did sound good with just the head pipe off the turbo though.

OOPS

To me it sounds like crap, just my opinion.

It sounds great for about a week.

Then you get sick of your ears ringing when you get out of the truck and go into the movies. LoL

I went with no CAT and a straight thru type muffler. I can stand it now...

Pros: released backpressure, makes the truck sound more like a truck
Cons: drone, raspy sound, obnoxious at times, ticket prone.

Better to just do a hi flo muffler and get the best of it all.

I like the straight pipe. Sounds like a truck... However, you are not gonna sneak up on anyone.. Leaving the house early in the morning?? The whole neighborhood will be up and ******.. Straight pipe it, but KEEP your orginal equipment in case ya wish to go back.

I had a 5" MBRP turbo back exhaust (no catalytic converter) and it sounded really good with the MBRP muffler. I then installed this:


















.......and LOVE THE SOUND!!!

That looks familiar...
