That's what i call it.... Not literally "straight"... But its straight though with no muffler... ?

Straight pipes to me usually has a diesel connotation to the phrase because in TX you are not required to have catalytic converters on those engines.

That would explain why I was about to post something like: "so, by "straight" pipes you really mean pipes without a muffler after the cats, right? 'Cause, if not, then that would be illegal."

Correct. Technically it's not a straight pipe as long as the cats are there but the cats will actually make it sound smoother IMO so I would leave them.

Definitely do not go bigger than 3" primary tubing unless you have a turbo. It will reduce velocity in the exhaust and make it sound more raspy(more honda, not race). A 4" tip is up to you if you like that look.

My parents have an 01' 5.4 that is straight piped and everyone loves it but my mom, she thinks it's too loud. It's the stock 2.5" exhaust piping with the muffler removed.

I removed my exhaust(unbolted) on my 5.0 and it sounded badass under heavy throttle but I was worried about getting a ticket so I reinstalled it until I went dual.
