Tried a few things to make it livable, but didn't happen. I now run a Borla.
Borla is in the Basement/Garage waiting to get put on, just to find the time

Only thing I warned you about and it already had it on it.

BTW The Roush that came on mine, I have put the OEM resonator on it after having to fight with them at Tasca about it not being on mine from the factory. Still tooooo much drone and I am going Borla

Cool !! I know you'll like it.
That system is made so well, it just about puts itself on.

Yes you certainly did ! When I had the OEM style put on, I forgot about the resonator and still had a fair drone at certain speeds (65 mph cruise of course). Because I had put the replacement muffler back just ahead of the axle hump and because of the split tailpipe, there was no room for a typical resonator. I ended up putting a 3" Magna-pack (stainless cased glasspack made by Magna-flow) in FRONT of the main muff. Works great, truck is dead quiet in the cab until you put your foot into it. Of course my 19 YO son thinks I'm a complete dullard now. He even put the Roush muff on his (still technically my) truck - the '05 in my sig. Fortunately with his quad cats, it's not bad.

Not really my mod. They were on the truck when purchased.

Removed chrome door handle covers from all for doors. Much prefer the color matched handles.

Curious, How did you remove the covers from the handles? Did you have to add new color matched covers? I'm not sure what's underneath them, are they color matched? I don't like the chrome either.
Thanks

From what I understand (I'm in the same boat) if you have the chrome appearance package then removing the chrome door handle covers is not only extremely difficult but there isn't a pretty piece of nice black plastic underneath.. in other words it'll look terrible. If they're just the cheap stick-on chrome covers then those should come off with a little bit of heat just fine. I've always wanted to remove mine but they're part of the appearance package that came on the truck (bought it used, good deal) and i'm afraid of what's underneath

EDIT: my post got me thinking so I went out into the garage with a blow dryer and a pry tool and was able to remove my chrome door handle covers and scratch guards really easily (as long as you don't care about re-using them, they're brittle). Underneath was some pretty decent plastic that looks brand new after I hit it with tons of goo-gone to remove the adhesive and then some plastic renew stuff... Took about 10-15 mins a handle X 4
