I have a walker, it does have some drone @ 70-75 mph. Its not obnoxious but just louder. I actually prefer the sound of the stock exhaust but having a tuner, it makes me feel a little better

let us know how it works out for you when you're done. I'm perfectly satisfied with mine straight-piped, but always curious how mods work out for other folks.

Update

So I get the exhaust really fast after I ordered it. Due to me not thinking that it would be here before the weekend (it came saturday) I made other plans.

So tonight I take it all out of the box looking for some instructions to read. NOTHING!

So emailed customer service to find out what the deal is. I am mechanically inclined and probably could figure it out, but still I would like to read SOMETHING that might offer some tips to me!

I will keep everyone updated...

I ordered the Diamond Eye turbo back exhaust system from Alligator Performance.

I'm still waiting to hear from them regarding the instructions.

Worst thing I ever did was change my exhaust. I'd give a part of my anatomy for the stock back. I have the drone and can't get rid of it. Makes trips horrible and hard to take.

What muffler do you have? I thought that mine (MBRP) had a way to change that by changing the direction of the muffler. That or you can try a different muffler.

Update!!

Exhaust is installed!!

I had a friend come over to assist me. 2 people is HIGHLY recommended!!

Everything was pretty simple and the 1 page instructions that came with it was decent. It could be better. 1 thing that made a huge difference was removing the transmission cross member to get the downpipe installed. Once I did this everything went pretty easy.

We tightened it down and I took it for a ride. I really like the sound inside the truck. I can hardly tell a difference at all inside. You can hear the turbo a little better.

Performance wise, I think that the mid and upper range have a bigger difference than the lower end. I didnt put it on there for performance though, I just wanted it to breath better and maybe a little better mileage.

Let me know if you have any questions!
