3.0 muffler removal
I was working under my sons truck and noticed the pipe about an inch before the muffler was cracked and leaking so I decided to pull off the cheap muffler that was on there off, I then cut the pipe just before the crack at a angle to direct flow away from the underside of the truck. It sounds pretty good to me and of course my 18 year old thinks its sounds cool too. I was just wondering if there is anything that can affect performance of the truck (not that it's a performance truck) or can it hurt the performance at all? It seems to run the same as before, no better or worse.

It should increase mpg, possibly power. I highly highly doubt the possibility of tickets. I have had my truck straight piped with dual resonators, straight piped to a glass pack, and now a straight pipe to a flowmaster super 40. I have never gotten a ticket because of sound, now im not sure if your area police are more strict than mine or not. As for inspection, i have no idea as fl doesnt have any form of inspection.

No form of inspection in FL? Damn that's nice. Yeah I'm not to worried about the PO PO but I will need to put a muffler back on in about a year before a smog check is due. Was just really concerned if no muffler had any effect besides quieting the noise down, like back pressure issues and things of that nature.
