replace my RB muffler??

i have a racing beat header and street port exhaust. i really dont like the look of the RB muffler. im looking to replace the muffler with a straight through style muffler. i know that the exhaust will get louder but will i loose any power?

You may feel a slight loss in low end torque but the top end should feel the same

Louder usually = less restriction/more power.
A staight through would probably free up more power.

I would keep that muffler if I were you, but if you do want to get rid of it, I'll take it off your hands.

i may have a trade in the works for a magnaflow muffler. if not then it will be for sale after i get another muffler.

should i get a fart can style with a turn down tip or another dual tip that is straight through?

Loud doesn't always mean more power. I bet you would make more power and torque with a properly designed exhaust system vs. a straight pipe. I'm with him though I'll take it if you don't want it LOL
