Working on it.

The exhaust is so deep it distorts my phone. I'm going to have to video from 50 ft away. lol

I will try and get a few interior vids for you within the next few hours. I have some errands to run with the family so that will be a good time.

You would be suprised at how quiet it is on the inside. There is definitely sound but it isn't annoying. I have an 11 month old and a 3 yr old and they ride with me. It doesn't seem to bother them.

He and a few other guys worked on it for a few hours for just that side. I'm sure he cares. He was actually the one that pointed out issues for me. I have yet to see any pics on the internet with both sides in perfect alignment. The also lifetime warrantied ALL of their work and parts. They even mentioned the muffler even though I didn't buy it from them. lol

An update: New exhaust not popular with the wife. LOL She liked the Corsa system much better. "One of the reasons I liked this truck was because of how quiet it was inside." The more I drive it, the more I realize just how different this setup is.

Darren, I have been trying to get videos but the exhaust note is so deep my phone isn't picking it up. I recorded a start, in-car slow accleration, 60mph cruise in-car, and interior idle. Almost NO sound shows up. It's wierd because it certainly is LOUD. lol

You need a better camera. Cell phone microphone probably can't pick it up.

Ok, first vids are up.

Sorry for the distortion. The left side of my truch is only about 2 feet from the wall. lol Also, my phone isn't the best at recording audio. Turn your audio up if you are havig trouble hearing anything. Not sure why my phones audio got low on these videos.

Start-up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVQwopaV0rQ

Interior - Slow acceleration and slow cruise (around 30-35 mph) (The little girl is my daughter )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFS8xO0yVZQ

Driveway Back-out and slow drive off - Exterior (The little boy is my son )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKFzujkPal0

I am working on "Slow Fly-by" and "Interior - On the freeway" videos as well. I should be able to get those up tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed the videos!

Thanks!

It's pretty insane in person. During that interior video, the engine was only running about 1200-1300 rpms, IIRC, so that gives an idea of what it is like.

I love it! If I was single, I would probably have a setup very similar to this. I have too many people riding with me that I need to please.

If it's any consolation, I routinely have my wife and two little kids with me. My wife definitely noticed the difference, but she did admit later that after a while she didn't notice it. Like I said in my review, it doesn't really "drone" to the point of beig annoying. Later model Ford trucks supposedly have pretty good sound-proofing.

I've had Magnaflow's on three different trucks. The drone is greater when I am driving vs. when I'm a passenger and the wife is driving.

Thanks for the comments, all!

Here is a freeway cruise video. A quick note: In the video, it souds like trhere is a loud drone oise. I turned on the radio to show how quiet the "drone" is but I think it had the opposite effect since the radio came out all distorted. In reality, the radio was VERY easy to hear and I was not cranking the volume up either. Unfortunately, my phone seems to go a little quirky when it comes to deep tones when mixed with less than deep tones (like a heavy metal CD). Also, I htink I got a fingerprint on the lens so it's blurry. lol
