I agree and you have to love the fact there is no resonance in the cab at all.

i know many are looking for that head turning sound w/o having it sound like **** inside... and a healthy rumble @ idle... i think 01thunder's setup is where its at if you want that. You'll still hear him coming.. thats for sure .. gutting your cats or simply removing them will have free up the air flow giving you that rumble you're looking for.

i think 01thunders truck sounds so good because of the size cam in the 4.8. if it didnt have the cam it would just sound like every other truck on the road IMO.

Mine's only loud at WOT and with the thirst of a 6.0 liter and 285s on a crew cab, WOT only happens every once in a while. The dual pipes are exiting behind the tires, i'm comtemplating a dump in front of the rear right tire to see how that sounds.

You gotta remember the application here tho. I've got a 6.0 liter with more exhaust tubing. I would think the 6.0 is gonna be louder than the 4.8, but i could be wrong here (4.8 reving higher,..etc). The extra tubing due to the body style could also be afactor torwards quieter than a reg cab short bed would be.

im not exactly sure 01thunders exhaust would be as quiet inside as any corsa system. my catless corsa sport with a 18" bullet as a resinator is damn near factory quiet on the inside.

mine can be quite,
but all I have to do is give it gas, and it lets you know I'm there.
