how does it sound in the cab, like how she barks but it seems like its loud in the cab... is it?

and also if you delete the catts and straight pipe it would it pass emissions in NY, bc i know a gass truck wont pass, but im still dont know much about diesel testing
theres a little drone while going 80, kinda have to talk loud to have a conversation, but u got a 6 speed so ur drone will be at a different speed.

normal driving it aint too bad at all, them lbz's and llys are quiter for some reason

You'll need to check local laws, BUT (in theory) if it came on the vehicle, it needs to stay on the vehicle, emissions wise.

Yeah, if they test in NY and you remove the cat, it's probably a guarantee you'll fail...

No, it's not that bad. My truck has no cat, but it's got the stock muffler, and it sounds virutally the same. The muffler by far makes the most difference.

Just get a good muffler, or no muffler, and you'll be fine. If they do emissions testing you'll have to keep the cat, but I'm not sure if there's a restriction on mufflers...

4 inch is good for 500+hp and its less expensive

with a 5 inch you gain a few hp less then the 4inch with a stock turbo
