Anyone else get their FR 3" catback recently? Any new sound clips?

Four new Maxxis for me, but with the Trailer Aid, I can only do one at a time as I don't want to hook up or disconnect the fiver while it is on the Trailer Aid, and I need the truck to get to work between tires. I use the spare to put the fiver back down on. Maybe I should try the bottle jack just to see how it works, then I won't have to use the truck.

So I recorded a video of my resonated FR exhaust on the way home, first on a straight stretch and realized there was nothing to hear. So I did it on a uphill grade, and once again, nothing to hear. I finally accelerated like I was passing up to 80, then let off and since cruise control was set for 55, it downshifted a couple of gears and there was still nothing to hear. Sorry.
Okay, I uploaded the last video to my PC and you can hear a little, but I had held the cell phone vertical so the picture was sideways. I might try a WOT with it tomorrow and see if I can capture some sound, but it just isn't that loud.
Here is a link to the last video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...6/CAM00027.3gp
I did a 2/3 throttle acceleration from 55 to 80, then let off and the cruise control dropped a couple of gears to slow it down.
If you want louder, either order without the resonator or get something else.

I thought part of the reason for getting an exhaust was for the sound. Interior videos are horrible judges of actual sound. All of mine are near silent but that's not the case in reality. Props on the exhaust though, lots of people like them silent I guess

I actually liked the quiet stock exhaust and was only interested in additional low-end torque since I tow heavy. I haven't towed yet (another 8 days), but it is nice hearing my radio instead of a Phart muffler.
