I've been told that putting a louder muffler on the ecodiesel doesn't do anything. So has anyone tried just running a straight pipe with no muffler?

Mufflers in most modern vehicles have very little performance gains.

You do it for the sound. Although, my Flowmaster did add about 37 horsepower.

It did, mine sure in the hell didnt.

It won't do much for sounder or performance due to the emissions system

Adding a straight pipe DPF back won't do anything. It's the DPF that holds everything up.

If you want it to be louder, get an off road tune from GDE and run a straight pipe from the turbo back.

I have heard if you install a catch can in addition to a straight pipe you can gain at least 50 HP.

I took the day off to watch the inauguration and have did a lot of internet reading, this is the funniest thing I read today so far.

I thought so too. I gained no HP or torque. The flowmaster 50 sounded good and I lost mpg. Because I liked the sound. :favorites13:

You have the record so far, I'm sure some one else will surpass you, eventually.))
