How true.

I know those are completely different animals. I will post videos as well as gas mileage results. Wish me luck.
I have the at3030 and 3" piping on mine. I just removed the AR30 resonator but have videos of both setups.

I may have spent about $300 for the current setup. Muffler, pipe, labor

So let me get this straight, this muffler is designed to make a non turbo vehicle sound like it has a turbo? If so...that is extremely homosexual.

Absolutely not. The company originally started making systems for Italian race cars with high output engines. the company was later endorsed by Nascar. This particular muffler has a straight thru design with an internal airfoil. There are videos that describe the muffler's design. My motor has turbos and that's why it sounds like that.

The resonator really kept things much quieter, but it's still pretty mild in the cab at normal driving in the highway. At that point, I can hear my off road tires over the exhaust.

Alright Trey thanks for clarifying that. I was under the assumption (from the name) that it would make a non turbo motor sound like it had a turbo.
