That muffler sounds good. Such a sleeper sounding truck. If I pulled up next to you in my 427 camaro, I would be like oh cool bro you got a baby cam and a muffler....I'm going to smoke this guy hahaha then a turbo sounds comes out from no where and I lose haha

Which muffler did you wind up making work?

I ordered a 36" magnaflow from summit. I couldn't be more happy with it. I drove it home for the first time tonight and it ran like a cadillac. Its super quiet at 80mph and there isn't any drone.

I have the truck on 10-10.5lbs right now and that is about all the truck can handle without getting sideways. I need to order a set of assassin bars, meth controller/tank/nozzles, and then start working on the dual pump set up. I want to put some miles on the truck before I start all of that so maybe I'll order parts after christmas

Yep that's it. Inlet/outlet is 4" and it necks down to 3.5" inside.

I might have missed it in the thread some where, but have you had a chance to dyno the truck around 10psi?

Curious to see what it makes on just 93 octane, verse the meth kit. I was reading some article about a 5.3L twin turbo making almost 1100 hp on 22 psi stock bottom end, and when they took it apart it had flat tops and was really a 4.8L. You might have to tub the rear in the future lol

I am having fun with the truck. Been driving it around all week and it is definitely the best set up I've had in this truck.

No it hasn't seen the dyno yet. I'd be curious to see what it is making also. If I had to guess, its probably around 550rwhp right now but again that is just a guess. BTW, that article is pretty cool. I do have wheels and tires sitting in the shop for a future tub.

I committed to E85 but then realized that it is more expensive than 91 octane here in town. WTF
