Do what you like is the simple answer....

For me, I'll put a straight pipe on a turbo engine if the rig has a good cab. Then you don't notice any appreciable difference. I would not under any circumstance put a straight pipe on a naturally aspirated engine on an open station tractor. Even with ear protectors, they're loud.... or my Ford's are anyway.
Of the rigs I have with straight pipes, it was only done to avoid buying very expensive mufflers.... in one case over 1200 bucks for a Cat.
You won't gain any power from a straight pipe in most situations, only more noise, especially on the N/A engines. On turbo engines it doesn't seem to make a world of difference.
