Record a before and after clip for yourself. When I first heard mine I was giggling like a child when I first heard it roar on startup and when I heard it drive down the street.

Just checked, out for delivery! Excellent service from Stage 3, again. I got my SCTX4, and my Raptor grille lights from them, and got the same kind of service then as well. They'll be my go to place when I "think" I'll need something else.

In that case, it will probably singe off your ear hairs!

UPS delivered it today, but too late to do anything with it. Was going to have it put on tomorrow at a local shop, but OH NO, I've got to work now. Maybe Friday, or Saturday with me laying under the truck. Oh well, "A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do". Sometimes it sux though. LOL
I did open the box though, very well packaged, and looks good. A couple bonuses, a hat, and not one, but two stickers!!!! NO, the stickers ARE NOT going on the truck.LOL

I have this big hanging/sliding door in my garage and that is where all my stickers go! Previous home owner did a lot of mechanical work/racing fan and filled it up for the most part.

Now that's an idea. I usually leave them laying around, somewhere. Maybe I'll go try to find all of them.
Truck will be done in the morning!!! I can't wait!!!LOL

It's on. Took all of 20 minutes or so for the tear off and install.
First thought, it almost too quiet.LOL Zero drone, I really like that. At warm idle, standing behind truck, it's just a tad louder than what I remember stock. But, when even gently accelerating, it wakes up, and sounds great.
When driving, you can just hear a little rumble, jump on it, and it sounds good. I'm thinking maybe once I get some miles on a trip on it, it might get a little more rumble to it. I'm going to wait and see, and if I think I want some more sound, I can either remove the resonator and wind up with the Atak system, or maybe a shorter resonator. Time will tell what I do.
One thing I don't care for is that the extension for the left pipe, is visible from behind the truck. It's obvious because it runs at the same level as the axle. I'm thinking some high temp paint on it when it warms up outside again, will take care of that.
Overall, the quality is great. Everything fit first try, with no surprises.
A couple of my crappy photos;

Isn't it visible because you have a 3'' block???
