Default disconnecting axle back

Ok I am curious on the sound of the v8 and thinking of just disconnecting the axle back for a min or two to listen to the engine which is harmless but wondering if anyone has done this and thinking if it sounds well i might have them tig up some straight pipes and run them to the tips.. i have a feeling that the aftermarket exhausts are going to be too quiet and i love LOUD...
