Hey guys i wanna make my 94 F150 5.0 loud and have a good tone to it. I removed muffler and have a straight pipe to the axle but itsnt nearly loud enough. Would gutting my second cat make a difference?

i cut my 2nd cat off and let it dump out in that 3" pipe right on the other side of the cross member. sounds like a diesel on low end and like a monster truck on the top end, i love the sound of it and i wouldn't change it

But you have the original manifolds, y pipe, and first cat? any sound clips?

oh yeah, original manifolds and y-pipe and the first cat, i cant put long tube headers on mine cause the 5 speed and shortys are a waste of money in my mind.

I have true duals straight off stock manifolds and right before the rear axle they go into 12" glass packs and then about 4 more inches of pipe and the dump down before the axle. Loud as hell, but kinda rattles/claps when rpms are really high, but only when i mash on it and dont let it shift (bad for your truck) lol but i would suggest something like that, but then again, technically its illegal

Your going to lose some performance if you run straight pipes with no mufflers, if you run a good muffler with a descent sized pipe you'll have a little more torque plus it'll have a nice sound. If ya want tons of noise and dont care if you lose performance, put some cherry bombs on, their loud as hell and have a nice cackle to them. Personally I like to be able to hear myself think when I'm driving but thats just me.

Back pressure can be your friend.

if you want loud just rip the hole exhaust off and run of the headers/ manifolds, problem solved lol
