I run stacks on mine, used to be straight but man it got obnoxious after a year or so, now I have a muffler on it and its still loud, but it sounds so good I don't wanna touch it any more, unless someone trades me for a full 5" exhaust. I know many of you have seen my vid, and I will make more down the road, but here is a sound clip letting you know how loud they can be even with a muffler. The noise is about the same coming out a stock tailpipe, but its location makes it a little quieter in the cab. The stacks let you know every sound the truck makes.

Yeah and no. Your downpipe from the turbo to the muffler is 3.5", then from the muffler back its 4". You need to get a 4" elbow for the turbo and a 4" downpipe, then the straight pipe and muffler if wanted. You can reuse your stock tailpipe and put a tip on it. The elbow isn't crucial, but its a good addition if you're gonna have the DP off anyways.

I have an 04 305/555 and your truck does not come with a cat unless its the Calif. version. I at one time pulled the muffler off as well and ran straight pipes. Super lound and raspy. For $50 its kinda fun, but eventually you will get annoyed with it and go with something like the MBRP. Now having straight piped exhuast wont hurt anything, but I think having some backpressure does increase the power over nothing at all. At least that's what I felt.

I must be the exception to the rule. I had mbrp on mine and I straight piped mine with a turn out and hanging right off the cat delete pipe. A little loud but I love it!

I put the straight 4" mbrp with no cat or muffler on my 03 SO and I love it. I used to have a set of stacks but it was just too loud in the cab plus I could smell the exhaust when sitting still. I took the stacks off and ran it all the way to the back with a slight turn down tip. Now it is plenty loud without the drone sound.

the first thing i done to the truck was straight pipe it then i put stacks in it but they were a little loud in the cab with no muffler so i put a mbrp 4" turbo back on it w/muffler then it was 2 quiet so i took the muffler back out and put in a striaght piece and put in its place and i love it now.
