Now this truck sounds like it has 400HP and backs up the SS badges :yes: . My performance oriented personality got the best of me today as I just couldn't stand how quiet the stock exhaust was , so I went to Mufflex custom exhaust shop in Trenton , NJ to see what was worth changing on the stock system , first they took off the stock muffler and checked it out , and while it is straight through , it does have a bend in it at the end , and the baffling and sound absosrbing material is probably hurting flow a little bit , I did this mostly for a more performance sound than for horsepower , so they put a Magnaflow on it and I took it for a test ride on the highway , the truck was still too quiet , barely louder than stock , so back it went on the lift and off came the stock resonator , when I first started the truck with the resonator off , I knew right away it was the sound I wanted , it's not too loud on the highway or at cruising speeds , but when you get on it , it sounds awesome , I think I could best describe it as loud enough to turn heads , but not too loud , and not even close to obnoxiously loud , in fact at cruising speeds its quieter than my old 5.3 Yukon that had a magnaflow and dual tailpipes . Performance wise it does feel more reponsive and a bit quicker , it is definitely breathing better than the stock system .
I plan to run the truck next weekend on opening day at Raceway Park , Englishtown in NJ , so if any of you local guys will be there you can check out the sound for yourself . By the way , Mufflex had a brand new red Jeep STR-8 in the shop yesterday getting new mufflers and the resonators deleted so those Jeep guys aren't just going to sit back and leave those beasts stock either , maybe he'll show up at the track next weekend and we'll have some fun .
