3.5" MBRP Exhaust install with pics and sound clip

[midnight]

took about 2 hrs to install (45 min of that was wiggling everything around to make everything clear the axle and other stuff...lol)

(Note: my truck is lowered with the McGaughys 2/3 drop and I had no clearence issues.)

I painted the part the goes over the axle and the very end piece black with High Heat Grille paint, it actually holds up very well. (the paint looks messed up in the pic but thats just some dust and finger prints, it looks very good in real life.)

That sounds really good. I might be replacing my Flowmaster soon, how much did that set you back?

Did you notice any gains in mpg? I am interested in getting a little help with gas mileage.

What's the drone like on the highway? I'm interested in getting a system, but I can't deal with drone.

I bought one from someone off of here and it has literally no drone on the highway... maybe I'm used to the noise. I guess I'll have my dad tell me on our Wednesday/Thursday road trip.

The goal is for him to not say anything. Honestly, it isn't loud, isn't discomforting. I'll take an audio clip next time I drive from a standstill, to WOT, to idle when I get on the highway.

The way I can describe it best is that it's tasteful. You can get some of the extra noise at acceleration without having cabin drone at speed.

He didn't say anything so it's not too bad. Mr. B (got it from him) had MBRP swap him with a quieter muffler so maybe send him a PM to figure out what all was involved.
