Subject: 4.7L Cat-Back without a muffler

Message:
Has anyone ever split right past the cat without using a muffler. A guy at an exhaust shop suggested this, but I am hesitant because I dont want it to be too loud. Anyone here have this or heard this. Thanks in advance for the help.

It'll be very loud. Not as loud though if you route it out the back of the truck.

Yeah, that's what I meant to say. It would be straight out the back.

I had my muffler fall off ( s****Y weld job by the muffler shop) when I was at the river. I JUST got there. It was loud as heck and also when it broke off I was drivign down a dirt road so the muffler broke on the front part so it stabbed the ground. made a huge racket. anyway I ended up having to drive it home without a muffler ( I had taken the muffler and tailpipe off the truck so I could drive) its freakin LOUD. especially after 320 mile drive back. souonds liek a big block on steoroids but if youtry to start off and floor it when it shifts to 2nd it gives off this loud wet fart sound.

I have a 97' Club Cab 5.2 5-speed 4x4, I have a custum single exhaust, cut off cat with a glass pack muffler on backwards, not as loud as a strait pipe, but louder than it would be if the muffler was on correctly, when I am on the gas under normal acceleration it is loud, really loud under full throttle.

I ran around town with my exhaust cut after the y-pipe for a few days. Makes a weird "blehhhh" sound and you feel like you have no torque, but it felt really nice higher up. I remember my tries would just roast when switching gears when I did that. Don't know what glasspacks on a 4.7 sound like..

I had a 2000 4.7 2wd, and it sounded awesome with it split into duals behind the cat, with no muffler. i later heard the same truck with a 5 speed with the same exhaust, and it sounded like schitt when he was slowing down, so if you have a 5speed try to hear one first you may not like it. It kinda sounds like it is backfiring really really REALLY loud.
