yes... also, the shorter the pipe the louder it is. If you really want to make it loud, modify the kit so it exits in front of the back tire, or better yet right behind the front tire.

The straight pipe sounds cool, until you pull with it. Then it's too loud. Oh my gosh, did I just say what I thought I said? Pay no attention to me, I'm OLD I guess. Seriously the 6.0 sounds nice but can be too much on a long pull. Maybe you'd like it?? IDK Good luck

what about turbo whistle? thats really what i'm lookin for, i know they changed the turbos for my year, so it won't ever sound like an '03 until i upgrade the turbo, but i'd still like to hear it a little.

7.3's sound ok without a muffler but the 6.0 sounds just stupid IMO, might want to here one at WOT first

I have a 4" turbo back system with a "REMOVED DUE TO RULES VIOLATION" and no muffler on my truck. I originally had a magnaflow muffler on there and when I took it off and the turbo whistle was much more noticeable. So yes, if you straight pipe it you will hear the turbo much more then you do now and when or if you tow it will be much louder inside and outside the cab.
Hope that helps. Do it!
