I just put in a crapload of dampening material from secondskin. I can't really tell you how much cab resonance it cut out because I threw long tubes on at the same time, but it does seem a bit better now. Is your exhaust dumped by any chance?

Yea. Is your muffler under the bed and dumped or under the cab. Had mine under the cab until i could get some pipe bent and it was Loud *** hell in the cab. Moved it back 4 ft and was a HUGE difference.

I did the complete cab with dyan mat and it made a little difference in the fron but the back seat was still deafining. I finnally fixed it with a Flo-pro b/c I couldn't take it any more.
