I had a previous thread on here about my '12 150 with the 5.0, and that noise maker Roush exhaust. The mechanic I used to install it, my time is VERY limited, has bailed on me. Oh well, he likes those vehicles that wear bowties anyway, and the goat worshipping crowd as well. I live in an area that no one works past 5:00 pm, unless you're a truckdriver, let alone on Saturday. I do go downstate on weekends when I can to visit my wife in the 'burbs of Detroit.
Does anyone know of a good exhaust shop down there, that could work with me on getting the drone on this thing reduced? Beechkid has been a lot of help, and I'd like to try his suggestions, but I just can't get the time. Seems you either have the time and no bucks, or the bucks and no time.
One thing I noticed about the Roush muffler, it's identical to the resonator that was removed when their system went on. Their system is a quality one with the fit and finish, but they really dropped the ball on calling that resonator a muffler.

 

I feel Your Pain Have the roush drone too Although they do keep my foot out of it just from the Noise at wide open throttle lol

 

Oh yeah!! It's painful enough gently accelerating up to speed.
I guess I should have mentioned that the shops I'm looking for would be in Southeast Michigan.

Did your shift pointes appear to have changed as well? Such as 4th gear on up seeming to shift very late, almost like you had it in towing mode? I know that sounds odd, but with the way all sorts of things relate to each other with the electronics on these engines, it has me wondering.

 

i have crazy exhaust drone on my truck too but with the AFE kit. enough that my kids and wife dont like riding in the truck now. it happens just under 2k RPMS. i used a decibel meeter and its about 90 decibels at the loudest with all the windows up

 

You can get a lid from 5star. It reduces the sound by 50% Might help
