I concur. I've scared off so many deer from 2 chamber flowmasters that they've more than made their money's worth.

actually you can still get really loud pipes and still be within emissions. my girl friend has a 97 dodge ram with the 5.9 and it has all the emission stuff on it but no muffler and it has pretty big tips and that thing gets really really loud and crackles. its got a very nice sound to it too

And the homemade flamethrower exhaust. Only really works well with a carburetor, lopey cams, and cars that don't have cats.

"don't peopel who generally run "loud pipes" remove the emissions stuff?"

After a couple of years your catalytic converter deteriorates so much that it's emissions control is ineffective and it does nothing but hinder performance and gas mileage.

That's what our government agencies specialize in.

... oh wait, that's o-missions...
