Default Straight Pipe Question

Hey guys,

I have a 2006 Dodge 3500, and I am planning on changing out the exhaust soon. I was thinkin about running a 4" turbo-back system, but I'm still debating whether or not I should straight pipe it. I've read some things saying that they are too loud, and some others that like the sound. So I was just curious to see what you guys think or running. Thanks for the help!

you do need one acording to law, but not everyone does, i dont have one but i have a 6"x6"x6' chamber for my stacks that muffle some of the sound to give it a good tone

i think about putting my muffler back on quite often, sometimes the straight pipe is just too loud (unbelieveable coming from a 21yr old) But I think about when i first bought the truck running down the highway, it was so quiet.. Now it is really loud I will probably end up getting a 4"TBE with a muffler....
