it does sound good, but you loose some low end torque doing that, i run a imitation flowmaster 40, dumped behind the cab, less restrictive than stock yet regains your low end torque, trust me youll get tired of straight pipe after awhile, my truck now sound like i have a big block in it lol.

To each their own really. I always liked the noise, even on long trips . Just like the whine of mud tires on the highway, sounds good to me.
