OK, so this post makes me question this exhaust or others. You were happy, but now want to replace the "AWE 180 resonator device" with a muffler? Or you'll be running two mufflers? I was almost sold until this post. But now it's too loud with your RPM range? I have a manual, so was always a wild card, but sometime I need to simply cruise in 4th.Ive got no major complaints. Ill be replacing the front resonator with a muffler most likely, but im still really happy with it sound/quality/power.
The only issue i have is that sitting at 65mph with 37’s and 4.88 gears, it booms just a bit at that resonance. Its not “drone” perse, but more that speed at that rev with my set up, if it has a hill that stays 8th gear the engine load makes some noise. A few mph above or below and its silent. Other than that, it makes nice sound driving around, and at wot. I love the sound.
After i get the blower in im going to see if the power delivery/tuning takes the noise out with higher power vs load. Some of that noise is also the intake though, so i dont want to change anything in the exhaust until blower is on.
no, i was thinking about replacing the small front muffler(resonator?) with a quieter one. The rear 180 resonator kills the drone Really wellOK, so this post makes me question this exhaust or others.

I want to be nice to neighbors in the morning (F*ck that F150 wannabe that leaves every morning at 5am loud as shit).
I have a K&N intake for the cabin fun noise, so wonder if the AWE is actually a good idea? You needing to change it scares me away, as I LOVE how the K&N alone sounds through the gears. But I also loved the exhaust sound in yours and their videos.
Kurt,no, i was thinking about replacing the small front muffler(resonator?) with a quieter one. The rear 180 resonator kills the drone Really well
the sound is smooth and mellow. It isnt obnoxious, but you do hear it at cruise. I generally err on the side of wanting quieter.
if its any indication how big a deal it isnt, i still havent done anything about it.
id say this. If you want Borla touring sound, this one is too loud. If youre ok with Borla s type level sound, this exhaust is fine. My neighbors dont complain, and as i leave for work at 0430, ive asked them if its a problem.
hope that makes it clear as mud.
Ha, pretty much. Sound is so subjective. Says a lot it doesn't bother the neighbors at 0430. I sometimes have work or flights early too, and hate the thought of sounding like the jackass in my neighborhood that annoys us all at 0500 every damn morning.no, i was thinking about replacing the small front muffler(resonator?) with a quieter one.

i have not yet. Work and family has been busy so everything with the truck got put on hold. Their pics of their barre muffler lead me to believe the AWE one will work.Kurt,
have you ordered a long range tank yet?
Wondering if the AWE is going to work with it.
Thanks
A couple of notes:Ha, pretty much. Sound is so subjective. Says a lot it doesn't bother the neighbors at 0430. I sometimes have work or flights early too, and hate the thought of sounding like the jackass in my neighborhood that annoys us all at 0500 every damn morning.
Thanks for your follow-up!
