Default straight pipes??

hey looking to do my exhaust soon and was wondering if its a good idea to go to straight pipes and if so how hard/easy would it be? i'm lookin for a deep agressive tone and was lookin at the flowmaster super 44 or super 40 series for a muffler. just wondering everyones thoughts.

I thought 'straight pipes' meant no cat, muffler, etc. If you mean just putting on headers and taking out the cat, the flowmasters would sound pretty amazing. I would imagine you would get a lot of crackling and popping when you let of the gas without any restriction to the muffler though..

Myself and quite a few others have a Flowmaster muffler on their Blazer and like the sound. You can listen to sound clips that have been posted here for various exhaust set-ups and the subject has been discussed ad nauseum, but in the end it boils down to "you pay your money and you take your choice".
