Begs a question -
Is the gas tank in the way on the driver's side ?
I've only ever seen before-tire exits on the pass side, so I assume the gas tank is in the way. It's a big-*** fella.

Something about before-tire exits wreaking havoc on wheels and tires too, can't remember if that was a 10th-gen (or was it earlier?) specific issue or general problem.

It'd more than likely be a straight pipe dumped somewhere out of sight. So when I feel like being loud, flip the switch and instant loud. Lol. But still retain the semi loud cherry bomb I've got in there now.
the ultimate embodiment of the "halal in the streets, haram in the sheets" meme hahah

would be a real sick system though. to be able to toggle between a Touring sound and a cherrybomb at the flick of a switch

LOL! The Shelby 350 I know for sure has a similar system. I think it's all internal in the mufflers. You flip that switch inside, and the difference is VERY noticeable. Goes from sounding great, to HORY CLAP!!!
Maybe someone could install that on a 5.0.

Those PTM badges look good (just as good as thought they would be when you first posted them on their own). Soon enough your entire truck will just be a uniform blue blob on wheels rolling down the highway lol. All for the better though, chrome is out of place on Blue Jeans and horribly inappropriate for Lightning Blue. Unfortunately there are way too many Blue Jeans/Lightning Blue + 300A XLT (read: nasty chrome grille and bumpers) combos in my neighbourhood; that's one hell of a combo with stock alu 17" rims and OWL stock Fortitude HTs and hella dirty too before the rain season had even kicked in!

I didn't know the GT350 had the cool adjustable exhaust. Camaro and SRTs have it as well but it's automatically controlled. On Stock mode the GT350 sounds pretty horrible imo, sounds like an Ecoboost (obviously the sound is the only thing I don't like about EB). Now on Sport mode however...5.2 Voodoo hnnnnnnnnggggggggg

I'd say those turned out great! Very subdued, much better than chrome, and different.
