Default Anyone run straight pipes?

Well, i was thinking about putting some steel tubing to replace my LMII's.....i want it to be loud and hoping this will do the trick. I was just wondering what people had to say about it and if anyone is doing this too. I have stock manifolds and H pipe.

It will be loud, but I dont like the tone of straights. Its too loud in the car for me, cant even carry on a conversation its so loud.

I would save up for a O/R mid pipe, that would make it a good bit louder and keep the tone of the LM's

Yeah try putting on an O/R mid pipe and if its still not loud enough replace those LMII mufflers for LM1's.

stupid ? but will it be be louder than just no mufflers at all and just coming out of the H, or be the same(assuming the same but just wondering) cuz i took off one of my mufflers to keep the deepness of the II's and having it louder with the one muffler gone out of the H.....(ghetto i know but it worked but it was rubbing on the drive shaft so i have to put a pipe there to hold it in place...)

Dude mustangs sound like $#!+ straight pipes. No engine smaller than 350 cubes sounds good straight pipes. My chevy 350 cammed truck with LT's sounded evil straight pipe but my stang with LT's sounds like ***.

What sounds bad about it? I havn't heard any yet.....Is it raspy? or too high pitched or what? (the way i'm going to do it is going to cost about 20 bucks so i guess i should try it anyways, just kinda wanna know what i'm getting myself into lol.

I have no mufflers, but I do have cats. DOenst sound to bad just more back pressure then I'd like. I bought the car like this, if it was my choice I would of had magnapacks on it.
