has anyone ever inserted a straight pipe in place of their resonator and mid-muffler?? how does it sound? would you recomend it?

 

It has been done and it sounds ok, but to raspy for my taste. This thread has different options for modifying stock exhaust. IMO stage 3 give a real nice tone. Read the last page towards the bottom post #1383 and I copied a list of the different stages. Good luck!
