Is it safe to disconnect the whole exhaust from the downpipe?
i will be towing a 10,000LB trailer tomm, and i want to make sure it is safe, if not i will throw it back on, not a big deal, the truck is a 04 f350 6.0L.. thanks

I ran mine from the cat back off for a few months with no problems... it wasn't even very loud in the cab and I have an 03 (louder turbo than the 04). Mark Craig had a few posts that he talked about just running the downpipe on his truck so you might want to do a search. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I torched the cat off my 99 (disclaimer: for off-roading purposes only) and it was loud in the cab. Too loud for even an 18 y/o like me. The motor sure spooled alot faster.
