Its not that loud, but the drone in the cab gets sooo annoying, you can't even think after a long drive, all i heard was the drone in my head. My setup is quite loud and ran me $120, the vids are in my sig.

It has been my 5th exhaust, I started with Flow si/do, changed it up, went to a dump with the flow, single dump, true dual dumps and finally this, I like it the best of any so far, and get the most compliments with it. Sounds great bouncing off of cars as I go by. It is still loud in the cab, but doesn't rattle the the dash or my head like any of the dumps did.

Chop off your Y-pipe as close to the Rear o2's as you can and have True duals with all 4 of your cats and all 4 of your o2s working normaly!! i ran this for about a year after the Y-pipe with just the muffler gone made me mad when itd shifted itd make a funny noise...Choped off the Y-pipe Much better sound and no more funny noise!. cut as close to the Rear o2s as you can and ull be set

Did you have it dumped or coming out the back?

just wondering if sending the pipe though the back will help with the drone?

I love the sound of my 5.4 with no muffler! All I did was cut the muffler out, removed all of the piping behind my muffler and then went to autozone and bought a turn down tip, pointed it toward the side of the truck and clamped er' on! Cost all of 15 bucks and sounds absolutely amazing!
