Personally, I like the popping noise... I've got true duals, no cats, with some chambered muffler.

i hear the thrush mufflers are good to, and the glass packs wear out and have no back presure, if you dont have any cats going into the muffler its going to be loud and have tone to it.

if you get glass pack atleast have 1 cat, but you can do what ever you want just throwing it out there.

The cat isn't for sound, it's for emissions. The truck may sound different without the cats but it won't be much louder without them.

I have true dual on my truck, 18 inch glasspacks dumped at the end of the cab with turndowns. I dont have any popping ever. I dont have any cats either. It still isnt very loud though. Its loud enough to sound like a truck but nothing crazy. I think it sounded better without the turndowns, but I put them on anyways
