I've run a set of 4" hedman tips called "BIG WAZOO'S"
for a little over a year now, paired up with a RAVEN muffler and 2 1/2"
exhaust tubing , The tone was a nice
DEEP RUMBLE with a little resonance in the cab, great with the windows down
and the slider open, the v6 made it a little raspy after the carsound cat
was installed,but that changed after the POWERDYNE went on sounds just like
a MAGNUM V8 now. This DAK scared more than one ricer on SATURDAY night.
The new MBRP cuda-style cat-back will be on before the end of the month,
looking forward to that !!!!
