i know this has come up in the past but i forgot the outcome. how much louder is the 5.9 12 valve with the cat and muffler bypassed since my muffler is starting to rot at the outlet i was considering at least for now running a piece of 3 pipe from the down pipe all the way to the bend pipe over the axle. straight exhaust. how loud will this be will it be heard over the engine noise someone out there must have done this already. i see pipe is available here http//www.mbrp.com/mbrp%20b/accs.html i am aware of all the regulations about the cat and the muffler. this is just a test john dont even bother get a muffler and be done with it and yes it will be loud! and more than likely your vehicle will run poorly 79 t/a ws6 455 hurst 4 spd blk w/ t-tops heavily fortified 4mpg 00 ram 2500hd qc v-10 4x4blk5 spd410 lsd 10mpg 98 intruder 1400 blk 5 spd 25mpg .
