Hey guys I have 93 f150 with 302. Anybody straight pipe and what's the best way. I don't wanna loose low end power but still want it loud. Thanks

My truck is really loud (im sure my neighbors like that I leave at 4:50 am) it's no cats and a dual in dual out muffler. Plenty of power for 35s

What about fuel economy did you notice a difference

With my 4.9, I went from 17mpg stock to better than 20 by gutting the cats and adding a straight thu muffler. Canadian gallons are a little bigger so the numbers wouldn't match in the USA but it should be about the same percentage of gain,
IMO the ford muffler is almost like a cork in the pipe, anything would flow better.

Mine was like that when I got it. The problem with a Loud truck most people tend to stay in the upper rpm so everyone hears them coming... Hence bad mpg.

Cutting your cats gets you better mpg. Hmmmm maybe ill cut my second one off.

If your still down a cylinder on your motor you may not see any gains in MPG's

Probly not haha. Ill fixer one day. Gotta get the broke bolt out of my new motor to finish it lol.

I swear I get worse mileage in my 351, but maybe It's because I have trouble not leaning on the pedal a bit with a truck that sounds like that!

Same when I straight piped mine.

Everyone who has done it usually sees a decrease in MPG's because they run it at a higher RPM to get that sound and loudness
