Muffler Delete pipe?

I have a bully dog set up, along with cold air intake and 4"mbrp turbo back with no cat. Should I get the muffler delete pipe as well? Will it sound as good, if not better? help with power or mpg? Also anyone have experience with the accufab power elbow, thinking about ordering one off ebay right now, I know it wouldnt make huge differences, but is it noticeable? thanks

I got rid of both my cat and muffler. Mine sounds great, it kinda sounds like a jet engine taking off. Its not really a lot louder though. Your mpg's probably wont change much, if any.

Do you have a 6.0, or do you have the engine your screen name indicates?

If you have the 6.0 and like to hear droning, then delete the muffler. You're already illegal on your setup, so why not go all the way?

I have an 05 and first deleted the cat and ran an MBRP exhaust with muffler, then later I got the MBRP muffler delete and think the exhaust is much louder and sounds like a jet engine running at idle. As for performance and mpg there will be no change. I also have the Accufab intake elbow and didn't really feel much difference but diesel power mag dynoed this unit and got a 10hp and 20 ft/lb torque increase.

I'll second that. The sound is great. I didn't notice any mpg change. When pulling out of the church parking lot I've had people stop me and tell me that my pickup was making a "weird" noise from the exhaust. I just smile and tell them thanks.
