Idle sounds good...but why didn't you get some revving in there? Then again, the mic would've probably distorted it. LOL

yeah and I had to use the cam corder on my old Sprint phone...it only allows 30 second vid clips to be sent from the phone..

Nope! I bought a turn down, but dumb ass me bought a 2 1/2 in ID, when I need a 2 1/2 in OD...so right now, its just flowing from the muffler outlet only

Thanks Greg, Paul and JIm...I am super stoaked about it...it did cost me a trip to the ER last night though...I wasnt wearing safety glasses when under the truck when I should have...had a shiver of metal fall into my eye and it got embedded into my cornea. They had to dig it out with a needle...talk about pain...now I cant drive for 24 hours.

Adam, having been a machinist for many years I know exactly what you speak of. The worst was a time when I was using an air grinder on an alumumun case and lifted my shield and accidently spun the grinder up throwing splinters into eyes. That was a major F'k up and is the root of my vision problems some 35 years later. Take care of your eyes and always use safety glasses.

Yeah, hind site it 20/20 for me...but the pain, which you know of, is worse than any I have experienced...I am now on pain meds, but when they start to wear off, it REALLY hurts. I am also on some antibacterial gel, that I have to put into my eye every 4 hours.


I was telling my wife that seems like every year I do something dumb to land me in the ER...

I tell you what, there is absolutely zero popping or cackle coming from this muffler at all when you get off of it... and zero drone when cruising at about 65 MPH down the road...when you get on it, it's pleasently loud and throaty...but levels out when cruising.

I think I am hearing it getting a little broke in now...I drive alot...60 miles a day just back and forth to work...

Cool thing happened the other night after work...I was sitting at a red light and a dude in a Yota Takoma pulled up next to me...Ruby was sitting there rumblin and he was staring down the truck like crazy. He was looking at it like I had something under the hood...HAHAHA...I played along and gunned it on the green light...LOL

Oh. it's fun messsing with their heads. I was behind a clean Tacoma at a light on the main highway and he took off hard, I sat on his bumper until we reached about seventy and changed lanes to pass and he backed off. The rest of the traffic from the light was about a half a mile back. Apparently he didn't really want to play. Great fun...
You will have to give us another video in a week to see if we can tell a difference.

I do that, but I'm listening to turbo whistle. Sometimes I forget to turn on the radio.
