Re:exhaust

I've tried two systems before the one I've got. I'm picky about performance, tone, drone, fit, quality, and value.


For my taste, I want it quiet enough at idle I can hear what's going on around me, when driving down the road, I'm vain enough to want SOME attention, but no snarls or glares....BUT, when I play....earplugs are a suggested option especially if standing on the passenger side.

I've been very happy with the 4" system and muffler from Source Automotive. From start to finish, I installed it in a little over 4 hours, alone on the garage floor, and again, I'm fairly picky.

Source Automotive has treated me VERY well on price and customer service.

Re:exhaust

What the heck are you doin' in here Rob? With all of those extra valves you must have gotten confused and clicked on the wrong forum. :P ;D Well, I guess its ok since you used to have a first gen.

Country,

I agree with Rob. Rips exhaust works, and sounds great. I have heard that there may be some issues with the availability of the first gen kit, though.

Mike

Re:exhaust

Mine is from bigexhaust.com, price was good. Sounds good, no drone on the highway. Fit fine after I took a couple inches out of the center pipe. Those with a std. cab will have to cut a couple feet out. You have to reuse your old hangers, so be handy with a welder, or do like I did and hack 'em out with the Sawzall and then clamp 'em on with muffler clamps.
