Resonance? You want Resonance Jon? I should have let you drive my Dak
at the BBQ lol!! As you may remember I have nothing in existance after
my cat. (not even a straight pipe - it all rusted off) I've gotten used
to the sound so much that when I drive my 2wd (with an exhaust) - I
can't believe how much louder the 4x4 is compared to it. You won't lose
that noise until you pipe the exhaust out from under the truck again. My
pipe ends almost right under where the cab/bed meet. Maybe a foot aft
of that.
