Thanks! Im absolutely loving it. I just wish I had it lifted with bigger tires it would be more intimidating lol. So that setup is basically first cat cut off the back one is still on. to about a 6inch pipe into the flowmaster 40 series then 90degree elbow to another about 4-6inch extension then the end tail pipe. The sound is perfect just the way I wanted it. I may do another video with a 4k rpm take off.

Hi flow cats are cheap and wont rob power at all so honestly there is no reason not to have one on there regardless of being checked or not.

to the guy with the o2 sensor issue, gotta get that fixed man. you can burn up a motor if its not monitoring the system properly. can cause excessive fuel into the motor which can wash bearings and cause problems.

Lol it was the only thing I could think of at the time that I could get my hands on, just some flexible metal strapping. The only reason why I manage to get everything to fit so nicely was because the muffler is off center inlet and center outlet. The 90 degree is right against a bend in the frame and thats how it sorta naturally sat.

i know this isnt my place, but if anyone searches for a similar problem then the OPs first post.....

the reason it gets quieter when you put a turndown under the truck is because instead of the sound coming out of the side of the truck into your ears, it has to bounce off the ground, then back out from under the truck.

just thought id put that out there...

NewEnglander - that sounds VERY nice! I'll have to add exhaust to my list of projects to do once I get my front-end all lined out.

Dude, you should get some full length headers. The sound difference is so worth it. I did it and had no issues at all.
