And theres no reason to not do it either.... thats your opinion. I personally kinda like the sound of a V8 diesel with a little lope.

I might think that your little mercedes diesel sounds really, really dumb compared to my Cummins, but I'm not about to call you out on something like that. That would be considered rude

I have had people look at my truck from the front, while it's running, and not only ask if it's a diesel, then when I reply it is, they ask if it's a 24v, my licesne plate reads "24VLVE"

The most common one people ask is why it's so loud (while it's idling)

Then some guy asked what I had done to my truck, and after I told him everything he said I should have just straight-piped the stock exhaust because diesels need back pressure.
