I want to try 2 in.straight pipes also. They may actually be quieter inside thetruck than the current setup with glass packs, which exit in front of the rear fender not far back from the cab.Mike, do it, and we can make some kool You Tube videos!!!

I'm already not very popular. Some burned rubber is the cause  A little noise will not change a thing, after all I'm the crazy nuts that owns the "big gas guzzler things"

Everyone runs without mufflers at the drag races. No problem.

That's good eneugh for me. I think the valves will be just fine.
I never ran a angine with straights, so I was a little worried.
Thank's for the experience.

I put about 400,000 on a 56 Ford in the 60's and 70's. I had various Y-blocks in it. Sometimes I had straight pipes at times and sometimes Smithy straight through mufflers. Exhaust valves were the least of my worries.

Exhaust valves shouldn't be a problem since you have the exhaust system installed. It will still hold the heat in to keep valves from warping or burning.
