dumping exhaust

In a word, yes. Not only will it get louder, but it will resonate in the cab as drive along. Some speeds will be worse than others. I had a truck (fullsize V8) setup like this and after a 12 hour road trip, I had pipes welded up and ran all the way out the back. I also had a truck that dumped at a 45-ish degree angle behind the bumper. It wasn't as bad, but it still got pretty annoying. The upside though, it sounded great outside the truck.

Something else I forgot to mention earlier. When I had my exhaust dumped on my old truck from the stock setup, I lost a lot of power below 2500 RPM. It screamed up high though. No back pressure. When I ran the pipes out the back, I got my power back down low, plus a little more (from my butt dyno) and probably lost a little on top from the dumped setup, but I'm not the type to run around town with my foot on the floor, so I was fine with it.
