Walker BTM.....Can you tell a difference?

For those of you who have installed a Walker BTM in place of your stock muffler....Can you tell a difference? Quieter/louder, EGT differences, etc?

For the money, it looks like a good option for me if I am going to (for now) stick with the 3.5 stock pipe.....looks much less restrictive...

let me know how you like it!

I concour. I ran with the BTM for a while before I put in the 5" exhaust and it barely made a difference in the sound, but really got rid of a LOT of restriction. It's a very good investment for the amount of money spent.

Yes - a bit louder, some resonance sometimes but not obtrusive. EGTs down about 100deg or more, not sure exactly because I haven't towed yet with it. I also think it may have added a few horses, b/c the truck holds O/D on some hills around here that it needed 3rd for.

i recommend getting rid of the stock muffler and not putting a muffler back in just a piece of pipe and it would be cheaper

BTM works great.. A slight bit noisier, but only with the windows open. Pulling 12K trailer, exhaust temp. down about 100 on 6% grade and truck pulls quicker up the grade. Good investment.
