what cab and size bed do you have? I just put mine on yesterday, it is loudest right before and around 2k rpm which is where a lot of my normal driving acceleration is....
at idle it has a soft rumble, not very loud after the engine is warm, and when flooring it it has a smooth loud tone across the band.
I really love the sound. I wouldnt say it is extremely loud, but its obvious its not stock ya know?
I plan on getting sound clips but its snowing out and I dont feel like putting the camera down in the snow haha.
if you search 'edelbrock king ranch' on ebay there is a clip but it isn't the best clip

well the kit I bought off ebay came with no instructions so that doesn't help. the install was fine, but the kit must be for a shorter truck because we were a few inches short connecting to the old system.
wasnt a problem, we just re-used the old gasket and cut a piece of 10 or 11 inches off the old system and coupled it in to fill the gap.
when the snow melts I will take some pictures of what we did.
here are some sound clips, doesn't sound exactly as it does when in drive but you get an idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn41K7a8Ioo

also, there is this thread with a little input on the saleen exhaust.

I will do a write up of the install and everything in the product review section later

hey i bought the saleen cat back for my 06 4.6L supercab. honestly i didnt get instructions, there is no mounting hardware for the rocker panels,the mounting hardware from saleen is 100 per side. i was pissed when i heard that, and my fuel line was right in the way of the driver side exaust route. its a pain in my ***. i wouldnt get it or reccomend it for anyone. Im thinking of selling it cheap and going for a gibson or banks system. original routing and probably stainless. saleen isnt stainless. if you go with it, get high temp paint. another mistake on my part.
