Sorry. Haven't gotten much of a chance this past couple weeks. Literally raining everyday. I do have a dirty truck cold start that I can post

Yup. Left the resonators out. I couldn't stand the sound that came out of them. Those weep holes sounded like a major exhaust leak. I couldn't handle it anymore. I'm super happy with how it sounds now
Please post video. going to do something with my 19 and not sure if I'm doing carven or MagnaFlow yet. Had MagnaFlow on a Mustang Cobra and loved it

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you delete the resonators? Can you show me some pics. I just did a muffler delete and the exhaust leak noise sounds terrible and I need to fix it ASAP! Thank you

Think we could get a video with some revs or how it sounds from the interior? Still liking the system? I ordered the muffler but would like to hear it before I go chopping and welding the exhaust.

I can definitely get some rev videos for you no problem. I've tried to get a video from in the cab and the sound doesn't really get picked up well from inside. I'll try and get you a video from outside tomorrow!

I need to get a drive by video. My wife dropped me off at the gun range the other day while she went Christmas shopping. It's the first time I've heard my truck drive away. I will admit I was "that" guy that waited outside and listened to her drive off. I must admit i loved every second of it lol

I get a ton of compliments on it for sure. It's alittle louder now since the muffler has broke in. I still love it though

I currently have a muffler delete and resonator delete. I'm putting a magna flow muffler back in today because it's insanely loud without the muffler or resonators. I'll let everyone know how the new sound is

Im planning on getting a Muffler and Resonator delete. You stated that it was insanely loud, and that's why you went and put on the MagnaFlow Muffler. I'm curious how loud was it? Im curious because Ive seen RAMS with only the Muffler Delete, and to me it seems like it could get a bit louder for my taste. Please let me know. Thanks

I started out with just a muffler delete and it wasn't quite enough. Sounded good aside from the stupid airy sound from the resonators. So then I decided to delete the resonators and kept that for a couple days but people were making comments that they could hear me from a mile away. And even in the cab it was way too loud. Don't get me wrong i enjoy some nice sound but it was too much. I ended up swapping the magnaflow muffler out for a straight through design variant muffler and i think it's about perfect now. Still much louder then my wife's 18 sport with a flowmaster outlaw muffler on it but now it's not annoying

Damn something to think about. I guess i'll try it out with muffler delete first at shop, and maybe tap the resonator holes, and see how that goes. I always have my music up loud so the growl wont bother me much. I'm also going to keep the resonator that comes from the front, to at least keep the cabin noise somewhat low. Did you remove that resonator also or did you kept it? Thanks.

I have the same set up as 19 Streak, so I think I can help you out aswell. I would implore you to go ahead and remove the rear resonators, the weep hole "leaky air" sound is horrible and it will drive you nuts, once you notice it, you'll never not notice it. Welding them shut isn't a good idea either because they WILL eventually rust out if you have condensation sitting in the bottom of them all the time when the truck isn't running. They are there for a reason.
