Muffler Delete Pipe Question
I removed my cat and now I want to do a muffler delete. Will it be to loud? Will my mpg drop? Will the bottom end power be gone because of the reduction of back pressure? Any help please I do not want to do something and get bad results. I work on my driveway and it is very cold!

havnt done this yet but when my warranty is up I will. Far as I know it gives you less restriction in the exaust. Little more power and smiggen louder. Turbo whistle increases abit also.

As to the loud aspect, your turbo whistle will get a lot louder at idle. And at full throttle it sounds like pretty throaty. I have a 4" downpipe into 5" stacks, and I drive 25,000 a year with the only "mufflers" being my windows! I love the way it sounds.:rocking: Aa per mpg, I didnt notice a massive increase, but I sure didn't notice a decrease!:tu: |
yea i have been thinking about doing this also i have a 4" MBRP stainless steel turbo back exhaust with cat delete but i have the small MBRP muffler on it and was wondering what it would sound like if i took it off. Would love it if it made my turbo louder

The most noticeable difference in turbo noise came from either my 5" stacks or my AFE stage II intake. The stacks really make my truck sing. Not to mention it sounds like a pissed off biker gang at full throttle!
If you really want loud..... I thought I heard something about a silencer ring in the turbo???:humm: |

No one does a silencer ring deal on these, that's a dodge thing. No muffler and no cat will result in a vacuum cleaner type sound at idle (more like a jet, but you get the idea). Cruising around is about normal like stock, but stomp on it and it will SCREAM. If you have side exit exhaust it's great. If you have stacks, it will be very loud inside the truck too, so towing with stacks can get obnoxious sometimes. I tow a 2 place sled trailer with sleds on it and I can't talk to anyone in the passenger seat. Once up to cruising speeds it's like stock though. Really cool.

So you think if i remove the small MBRP muffler it will make my turbo alot louder on side exhaust with no cat.
|
not a lot louder but enough to notice a difference, im running stock turbo back in to dual stacks, with no muffler or cat, bout ready to put 4 inch turbo back, i say do it, you'll like it
|
When the temp. warms up I will do the muffler delete pipe. After reading about the results I am looking forward to doing it.
|
do it:tu:
|
Before I spend $600 on a new exhaust I want to see what the delete pipe will do. The cat delete pipe was a big improvement with turbo lag.
|
yeah with the cat and muffler on your diesel engine suffers because cats get clogged the more flow the better you diesel will be
|
I put a light in one end of the cat and I could see a opening about 2" in dia. The truck has much more power but it will also use more fuel. I keep looking at the tack and try to keep it under 2000 rpm. I have to stop with the rocket take offs!
|
Let it breath!!! Get rid of that thing:tu:
|
Yup! The cat's on these are not like gas cat's either, they're relatively open, but they definitely muffle some noise out. Ditch it!!! They're easy to swap off and on if need be too.
Rocket take offs for the win! :c: Just for reference a good laugh. When I first got my SCT with innovative tunes, I loaded up an economy tune and drove like a putz. I didn't go above 2000rpm and stayed below 10psi (or tried very hard). I avg'd 15.1mpg. Next tank I filled up, loaded extreme street, drove like a moron redlining and pounding gears, boosted launches, you name it. Avg'd 15.3 that tankful. guess which tune I drive all the time now? :rocking: |

Delete everything you can. I have a MBRP 5" turbo back and I love the sound now that I don't have a muffler or cat. At idle it sounds like a jet spooling up and at WOT it is so loud people always turn and look but at cruising speed and rpms it sounds like stock.
