Overall Cold Start is louder but that is due to the downpipes, idle and part throttle/cruise at highway speeds are only very slightly louder, just a slight deep rumble in the background, your kids and significant other will only notice if you point it out. Love the sound at full throttle now inside and outside the truck. In the next week or two I will be adding vacuum actuated cut-outs to bypass the muffler and will post up some clips of how that sounds. I am hoping this will uncork more power as much as I love the sound now, the design of the stock muffler has to be one of the most restrictive I have ever scene. Done on purpose I am sure to keep the power down and away from M levels.

Here are a few clips of it during cold start, revving, and a drive by

I really like the turbo noise in your setup.. probably from the downpipes huh?
