Straight pipe question

patchesmcgee · Aug 23, 2024

I have a 81 k10 350, true duals, if i was to just cut off my mufflers would i have to adjust the carb? Also I've heard the old tale it would damage my valves.... how true is that? id still have about 3foot of pipe from where the cut would be at from the shorty headers.

You won't hurt anything except your ears. Unlikely to help anything either though unless they are completely clogged up. Why would you want to just run straight pipes?

Ill end up having pipe welded back in where the mufflers were in a few weeks, i just like loud plus i have no neighbors and co-workers to annoy lol.

Imho, straight exhaust on a stock or relatively stock engine tends to sound terrible. You may find it annoying in short order.
