Straight Pipes

I was thinking about putting straight pipes on my truck, most people say they are illegal but every 5 trucks have them, any thought on the subject ?

You can get straights with baffles in them. They look just as good and you won't go deaf. They will sound good also. 8)

Forget about using your Jake in many places without mufflers unless you want to risk a ticket.

It's up to you to check the legal stuff, aside from from you only live once, do it your way. I'm with brian 8" straights is really the only way to go.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

i have a single stack. after taking my muffler off & running straight pipe, i got 20-30 more horsepower. my muffler would rust out every 2 years anyway & i would have to cut off other parts of the rusted together pipes to get off & replace.. no more.

I ran straights for years and paid about 1 fine per year, usually $35-75.00. Then SC wrote me a fix-it ticket and a $150 fine; since then, I always run a small muffler or resonator somewhere out of sight. Since then, I haven't paid any fines, not even in CA. :wink:
