I like them for how small they are and output is decent. I'll try and get some night shots this weekend with and without covers.

They are the 4.5" I'm guessing?
Output shots would be much appreciated. No rush.

They're the 3.7" Optimus Round, not technically light cannons.

Gotcha. Out of curiosity when you had your 275/70R18 Duratrac's, what PSI did you run them at?

I want to say I was running them at 42-44 psi if I remember right.

Finally got some night shots for you. Still need to play with the aiming. Took these from the drivers seat.

Hey Chris, loving the truck, I hope I can get mine to look like yours one day.
I'm looking for a muffler to replace my stock one and I'm considering getting the borla xr-1 like u had. I've watched your videos as I found them on YouTube before I even found this thread and I like the sound.
Could you tell me more about the muffler? I have a loud summer car so I'm not looking for anything crazy. I'm wanting something that I can command start in the winter at 6:30am and not completely **** off the neighbours, and I'm also looking for no drone!
What are your thoughts on the muffler? I would be leaving the resonator In place, thanks in advance

I would say the XR-1 would be perfect for that. It's loud enough to know its there but I wouldn't call it loud enough to **** people off. It did get louder with time and miles though but it was still what I could call mild.

I actually ended up ditching the Borla for a Black Widow Race Venom back in October because I wanted something a little louder and deeper sounding.
