Straight Pipe = Lower EGT's?

Just a simple question, will going to a straight pipe on my stock 3" exhaust and yanking the resonator and muffler get me lower egt's? I plan on doing it even if it doesn't, but it would be nice to have that little added bonus.

Most accounts show a decrease in EGT by opening up exhaust flow.

WHen i first removed it

made very little difference in EGTS, about 100 degrees or so lower, i did get better sound tho, and slightly better mpg...

No, I'm not having issues whatsoever. I was just curious if it would help at all.
