as quite as possible v10's sound like crap. Keep it stock people have had decent results with the aero turbine 30 30 but I would still keep it stock.

thanks for your input mike... i dont know anyone with a v10, so i can only rely on youtube. i know those dont always reflect on what real life sound is.. in your opinion why do they sound bad?

I bought a banks exhaust. I love the added power, but don't expect it to sound like an aftermarket exhaust system. It's really quiet.

From what I've read on this site the Jones 3030XL is a good one for our V10's. I haven't purchased one yet but it's on my "To Get List" for my 06 6.8L

I have the Banks Monster Exhaust on mine as well, it doesn't sound incredible but isn't bad either.

I have the Jones 3030xl, same as the Aero turbine. Jones used to be the contract manufacturer for Aeroturbine. The exhaust shop that put it on said it is the best muffler they have heard on the V10. Even the chebby guys that work with me reluctantly say is sounds good. It isn't that loud, very little to no drone. The sound comes on around 2000rpms and quiets back down around 26-2700 rpms. Anything out of that range and its almost like stock in the cab.

may be a dumb question. but did you just purchase the muffler and then had the shop install it as well as the plumbing? if so did they run 3"

The exhaust shop had the muffler and did the install. He did have to put a piece of pipe in to make up for the long stock muffler. He expanded all the joints before welding all the ends. He did an excellent job as I watched the entire install be done.
