The 94.5-97 PSDs had a straight-through 3.5" muffler. There is very little benefit besides sound by going larger on those or deleting the muffler. Installing a 3" turbocharger downpipe is a necessity though!
On the 99-03 PSDs, the muffler is a maze of baffles and flow redirectors. By "losing" the factory muffler on those trucks, besides being a lot louder, they can see a benefit in breathing and power.
