Exhaust

From this morning

So I know exhaust videos are very subjective, but it doesn't seem too much louder than stock on the cold start-up. With that said, I am not looking for crazy loud, just a bit more to know I am driving a Hemi. Thanks for posting the video.

I DD mine too and am in industrial sales and make long trips like I am this weekend (4 hours) pulling my boat. For me not at all going to be unbearable or nuisance to hear a phone call or speak to customers. I’ll do more testing with MDS engaged just to let you know. The little I did this eve, it wasn’t bad at all. Let me know what y’all want me to vid and I will do my best to oblige.

It would be greatly appreciated if you can get an in cab at low cruising speed and one at highway speed.

Does it scream pulling your boat?.... I don't know what kind of sales you are in but I need a change of career if yours involves a boat

I 2nd Silvernight202 on the sound clips & one with MDS.. I did not realize until yesterday how much driving I do with MDS engaged ( and still get **** for MPG)

Will do on the vid, but as you can see, my boat is hooked up to the truck and will be until Sunday eve/Monday morning so only in Tow/Haul until then.
Driving it more on the commute to work, I'm liking it even more. It isn't much louder than stock, especially at idle, you will know it's there, but again, very unobtrusive. When you step into it is where you will hear it most and even then, it's not much more than stock as far as volume. 1-10, If stock was a 2, this is a 4-5 volume-wise, but it has a deeper tone over stock. Really is perfect for what I want for my truck, lifestyle, and DD. I would bet no one in my neighborhood knew I cranked up and left this morning at 6:45 cruising out at 20mph.

I really don't think I can go wrong with this, I am not sure if I like the FlowFX any more than this either. It's a way less expensive way to go than a catback, so seems like the good choice. My wife and kids will probably appreciate it more as well. Thanks again Dookie.

I have to agree with you plug the weep holes, and call it done. From my understanding (don't quote me on this) plugging the weep holes, they will hold moisture then rust out earlier? Then have to be replaced earlier?? Any idea on how soon they will need to be replaced?? Is this even correct?

The blacked-out truck and the black boat looks great! Did you have your tail lights smoked or what did you do to them?

 

[Dookie]

My .02 on the resonators are they are stainless steel, and any water should find its way out via evaporation once the system heats up to temp. I'm not concerned there at all. In the event they do fail (10 years or more), I'm more than sure you will have a treasure trove of them people have laying around from deletion that can be had for free or next to it.

Thanks on the compliment on truck/boat....Bought a black truck to match the boat, my 4th gen was burgundy, and they looked okay together, but now.
The tails, headlights & fogs are Lamin-X covered and done by me with a helping hand from the wife.

Those look great! The reverse lights are already terrible, how are they with that film on them?

 

[Dookie]

Terrible...But I solved that with auxiliary reverse lights and a Redline Triple 48" LED light bar mounted under the bumper lip.

Man you have an awesome truck.. Tell me about the AUX reverse lights. Does the 48" bar work as turn lights etc? I would be really scared to take my bumper off.

 

[Dookie]

Thank you my man, it's a work in progress...See below.

Ambient Lighting w/Redline 48" Triple LED

I installed it under the top lip on the bumper, wired in and using the Curt adapter and wired the reverse light on the bar to the bed lights.

Did it scream pulling the boat?

 

[kipeharris]

I had the borla loaded down in my kids car seat (for safety) and everything.... I guess I will be waiting for videos on Monday instead

This sounds great. Thanks for the vids.
I was going to order a Borla Pro XS, and while searching online, I came across the S-type muffler. I didn't know they sold that as just a muffler. It's 2.5" vs the 3" pro xs, but I figured if shoot an email to Borla asking the difference between the 2. I was not pleased with their reply:
"40353 is a full size oval muffler, and 40842s is a quite small round muffler. Both will drone quite loudly on this vehicle. The only way to avoid drone is to purchase an engineered cat-back."
