Thanks for the poll. I bought a piece of 4" from a muffler shop the same length as my banks muffler, and had the ends expanded. All i had to do was take the muffler out, notch the ends on the new pipe and install it. And it does sound mean.

I would love the benefit of straight pipe but not the noise. Guess that what we call a paradox.

I wish they made like a valve so you could run your exhaust through a straight pipe or a muffler. A valve that would point the exhaust through either one as you wanted. Cause during hunting season sneeking around with straight piped exhaust kinda don't work lol

Add the cherry bomb on top of that. Guaranteed 50 extra hp on it. It sounds mean like that
