Too loud, quiet, drone, etc?

First time I've ever done any aftermarket exhaust. I'm not used to being able to hear the exhaust at all. It's not too loud, or too quiet, and there's no drone. Just not sure I'm going like hearing it every time I push the gas pedal down.

I will say that I'd like a deeper tone when cruising at lower rpms.

On the plus side mpgs appear to have taken a big jump. I've been keeping close track of mileage since April. Average around 16. First tank through with the Flowmaster was over 18.

Never needed to work under the hood at night, but JIC… I added some KC Cyclone 2 led lights for under hood lighting. Turned out pretty decent!

Finally got some 70° weather in North Texas so I got out and washed 2 months of dirt off and cleaned then re-ceramic coated the leather with CarPro CQuartz Leather.
Needs paint correction and to be re-ceramic coated bad

Found what looks like a squirrel or mouse had tried to build a nest too. Strange because the truck is never sitting more than overnight.

Be careful with that. I've spent thousands of dollars when they chew the engine wires. Not cheap to fix

Yeah, that's my concern. Looked over it quickly and didn't see any damaged harnesses, need too look from the bottom.

I suspect this happened on my last trip to Houston at CityPlace Marriott. Parked under some oak trees that had squirrels eating acorns.
I've got some Final Blox, may tie some to the lower side of the engine compartment but I think this happened in Houston

At least they’re getting you in. At least where I’m working at right now inTacoma. WA goodluck getting into a bodyshop around here for 2-3 months. Hell it’s a month out just to get a quote I gave up and will just wait till winter time when works slows down and I can head back to FL and have minor body work fixed from some asshat that hit me in the hotel parking lot.

Well, it was hit in a Love’s parking lot. I work 50 miles away and carpool. So witness says that a white 2500 utility truck hit it at a high rate of speed, then drove off. 😡
I bet it was a chevy guy who tried to buy a ram but was declined because of his credit.

Sigh....some folks...

And I'm gonna assume that you meant to type "Lowe's "?? If it is indeed a parking lot that belongs to one of your 'Loves' then the plot has just thickened.

I really hate people sometimes. Nothing like what you’re having to deal with AT ALL, but I got home from a work trip to find some a**hole did this in the airport lot…
