FYI, your friend with the auto could have a up pipe leak which WILL effect the way it sounds, I know, I have a manual, I had a up pipe leak and after fixing it it sounds SWEET!
Then again I also upgraded to a 4" exhaust at the same time. I have heard other diesels around town that are autos and they sound pretty dang nice but without smooth exhaust flow through the exhaust you won't get a smooth sound.

what exactly is the palmshaker? ive never heard of that.
I have the muffler delete on my 4 inch MBRP and is sounds alot like that. i'll shoot some video of it when i get a chance and post it up here.
Also,
too see if i wanted to put in my muffler delete, i just removed every thing from the muffler back for a bout a week and ran it like that. only diffference in the sound after i added the muffler delete was it was quieter in the cab and i didnt hear as much whistle. back by the tip though. it sounds badass.
Do you have a manula or at?

When I first heard of it I had to think about it for a few minutes. I was too afraid to ask..

Great to know. Btw, how much smoother is the 4" over the 3.5"?
