What's up ladies and gents? I am gonna straightpipe my truck with a cat back exhaust, & thinking about taking the mufflers off. Is this going to make it super loud? I'm looking for a price efficient way to make my truck sound better. Should I just spend a little more money and get MagnaFlow, or flowmaster?

That wouldn't be straight pipe. Straight pipe means no cats, not resonator, no muffler. Literally just a straight pipe.

I personally think straight pipes only sound good on diesels. There are tons of videos on YouTube. Check them out to get some ideas.

When I was in high school, my buddy had a straight pipe v8 truck. We'd go to the mall and set off car alarms in the parking deck.

Eric, can you elaborate on the modification you are looking into a little more?
Our catback exhausts have been popular for F150s, or there is the option of a muffler swap for the more budget-oriented owners. A completely straight pipe exhaust will be much too aggressive for most people, and have quite a bit of drone which makes it hard to live with daily.

Straight pipe, cat back, leave the mufflers on.

I'm confused.

Straight pipes are pretty damn loud on a V8. Like annoying loud. It can be fun but it usually gets old after a few days/ hours/tickets.

Straight pipe = Yelling
Find a glass pack or performance muffler that will provide a mellow sound.

I have a straight pipe with just the cat, and it's not very loud. It sounds raspy when I rev it up, but otherwise it sounds okay. I'm gonna go to a dual setup if I park it this winter, headers, 2.5" pipe, 2 chamber mufflers, and 3" tails under the rear bumper. That should make the neighbors happy when I come home at midnight!!

Straight pipe = police attention/state inspection failure...at least in my state.

I bet it won't last long. One day its nice and loud, the day its annoying.

I don't think you should be doing any kind of modifications to your truck if you think an exhaust is straight piped with mufflers still on it lmao!
