No, it is more rhythmic. You hear it best in the last 7 seconds of the video.

I'll do a WOT run today now that I've figured out to shrink my video to an uploadable size.

yeah, that neck was supposed to fix the flutter. At least that's how I understood it. As long as I know it's not an exhaust leak or something else, the flutter doesn't really bother me though, so I'm leaving it alone for now.

Well I dont think I can tell there is any type of flutter? If there is it dosent sound bad over the speakers on my computer. Ok is it safe to say that the y pipe is worth doing if so what brand Y to use and are the gains really worth it? Tell me what I want to hear boys.

Good job Monsta. I have spent hours trying to figure out what the heck that noise was. I was for sure it was an exhaust leak. I have bigger problems now as I just blew out a spark plug.

Your sound was probably heralding the impending plug blow-out. From what I understand both are similar.

Last week, I put on my Y-pipe from e-bay, and a Troyer custom tune, and believe me, it made a different truck out of it.
Noticeable increase in smoothness, throttle response, noticeable increase in acceleration. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To me, this is the perfect every-day package. Mac intake, Y-pipe, and Troyer custom tune.

Even after I installed true duals I had that exhaust flutter. The h-pipe helped some. Now when I put the headers on, it was gone. Damn did I just write about exhaust again?

Monsta, man I forgot how a quiet truck sounds. I am thinking about taking the Magnaflow's off and going to a more quiet set of mufflers. I hit a 18 wheeler retread twice in one month, almost ripping my exhaust off. So I have to get my stuff repaired.

What headers did you use? Are they equal length tubes, or just shorties?

Oh, and glad to see you
