Nice sound! No fart can here. Like a low rumble. And nice sneakers too...

You must have never heard either a Neon or an SRT4 with big cams for example. They have the sweetest lope like their V8 Hemi counterparts, yummy! Man I do miss that about my old Neon! Do a search for "Neon+Crane cams" on Youtube and you'll see what I mean (anyone daring enough to look into + develop bigger cams for the LNF yet? )

I will admit that there is a little cabin drone, but it is not to bad. The radio on at a low volume really eliminates the drone. I just drove to Indy and back last week and I actually never noticed the drone. If I keep the rpm's over 2100 the drone is gone.

Thanks, Ray.
Axle back, stock resonator, and stock catted DP.

basically new 3'' pipe welded from near the stock resonator back to the series 40 3'' flowmaster with the stock tip cut and welded from the factory exhaust.

I have not noticed any loss. My butt dyno tells me that I gained a little all the way up. May be psychological, only the track and dyno will tell me for sure.

Not my cup of tea. Just makes me appreciate the factory muffler more.
