Default 5in exhaust
I got a 5in exhaust on my 05 right ow but i still have the muffler but no cat on it. I made me a delete pipe but im kinda hesitant to put it on because ive heard some people say that itll be really loud but still sound like crap because i have a 7in tip. Any input would be great!

Straight piped CRs sound horrible IMO. I say don't do it.

Once you get going down the road at 55 or 60 MPH, its not as loud as you would think. Mine really RAPS pretty loud when I am under a load at about 2200 RPM's though.. I LIKE IT!!!
