To the OP please do a better video than MRT, my biggest complaint is that their video blows. I would have driven over there to pick one up if i knew what it sounded like.

Doesn't sound too bad! I think it has more of a diesel exhaust sound to it, but still sounds good. I'm kind of surprised that you could hear the DI so much, even with the resonator. I'm assuming it's because that looks like a pretty small muffler. Is it a straight through turbo design or baffled?

Sweet. I listened to it again and I think it sounds much less diesel like than originally thought and has a nice mellow tone. Also, It looked like a beautifully polished system! I kind of wish I had a polished muffler, but knowing me, one less polished thing to keep shiny, was the best choice for me. Lol. I know it's hard to find an exhaust that fits everyones wants or needs and I'm glad to see one more person has found, "the one" for them! :-) Thanks for sharing!

That magnaflow sounds right.It has quality sound. After market mufflers are a dice roll.especially on v6 motor.Here is a suggestion for keeping tail pipes shiny.use turtle wax polishing compound.l've used it on old ford truck since 02 when I put duals on it.the pipes are just aluminsed steel.Over the years they have become polished.clean pipes look good on trucks.Old truck is 86 model.

Thanks man! Indeed! It's a roll of the dice with this motor as all motors each having their own pitch to them, affects the tone from vehicle to vehicle. This is why most exhaust, even of the exact same set-up will sound different from truck to truck, even if those trucks share the same engine platform. Anyhow, I digress. And I usually polish the tips, to keep em shiny as well, but I didn't want to climb under my truck any more than necessary! So, no polished it is. But thanks for the tip though. I've got quite a few good waxes, so I'll try a bit more on the polished tip I have and see if it can keep some of that soot from sticking so much!
