But by no means does it have the tone of a v8
I know I'll never get the V8 sound, and thats fine, I'm not looking for that. I just want something that sounds a little throaty and not raspy. No ricer sounds!
f150man3.5, do you have a sound clip you could post? thx

No way of getting sound clips as of yet, i'm working on it. Yes it has a deeper tone, mellow when cruising, but real loud when you get on it, and higher in the rpms, some rasp high in the rpms to. I'm pretty sure a longer muffler would tone it down, or putting the resonater back on it( 3inch of course) or a combination of both. But i'm really digging the way it sounds right now. Btw some guys at work while cruising in didn't even notice or hear that i had any exhaust work done. Towing will be the real question, towing a 6000pd tt on a camping trip up north, we shall see

Im curious what they sound is like when towing. For me, towing in stock form-100%, I noticed my exhaust has a bit of in cab drown...especially when climbing hills.
And thats with my 7k lb TT..
