And the cats have made it. Roughly 13 hours to drop-off! Sleep won't come easy tonight. Fortunately I have a meeting tomorrow morning. By the time I get back, truck should be about done. I should have some time to get a few videos for ya as long as I can get my yard work done. Turkey season starts Monday!

After more consideration about the cats, I decided to hold off on them and exchange them for the 94136's. Did still get the muffler and tips installed. Much deeper than that 18" I don't think it's much louder if at all, but I am really diggin the more aggressive tone. I think it's gonna come out just right when we get those cats on.

Thanks! It was hard because I want it done, but I Dont want to tear those out only to put in the right ones down the road.

My previous muffler was just starting to break in, I can't wait until this one does

Guys, thought I would post those 94106's in the classifieds rather than mess with trying to send them back to Amazon and waiting a month for the refund.

Been fighting the wind to get a couple videos now that the new muffler is on. I ended up with two that are ok. let me apologize for some of the strange rattling/ woodpecker like noises that appear in them, not sure what they are or where they came from.

We will do some more after getting the cats on, but I wanted to have some sort of comparison.

Just a note on the cats: The best price I found was through Truck Parts Hub. I ordered on Saturday right after the muffler was done. After not hearing anything, I sent an email to them yesterday asking if they had shipped, if there was a tracking number, and so on. I received a call a couple hours later and was told the order processed Monday and that if they didnt ship yesterday, they would today. The guy also stated that it was only 72 hours since order was placed and wondered why I was inquiring already. That comment worried me a little, but I was impressed by the quick reply to the email I had sent. Hopefully we will have them on next week.

Enough of my babble, how's about some vids?

That new set-up sounds pretty dang good to me.....

Truck looks nice and clean -- especially for an '05! Looking at it almost makes me wish I had checked off "Dark Torreador Red" when I ordered mine back in '05.....

It is a great paint, I loved it on mine. With some black it really looked killer! I miss that paint.

Hell yes, buddy!! Sounds freakin' GREAT!!

Much better, indeed. Gotta love that deep MF tone! Methinks the addition of the hi-flows will give you the finishing touch that provides just the right tone/volume combo that you're after. Ye done right good, li'l buddy!

So, those new tires seem pretty quiet to be a more aggressive AT/MT tire, huh? Likin' 'em so fer ere ye?

Again...beautiful truck, buddy! Ye ortta be right proud o' yer rig!

Yer buttrn' me up right nice dar sir! (still workin on that lingo)

It got a lot deeper with the new muffler, I think I'll keep this one.

Those tires are nowhere near as loud as they look like they would be, I'm very happy with them as well. Just a few small visual items that I mentioned to you before, but yes, I am very happy with that truck! My daughter calls it daddy's cool truck, and she calls my brother's Ram a girl truck. believe it or not she came up with that on her own, but I'm completely guilty of eggin' her on. Again, appreciate the compliments and advice and such!
