I got it installed today at 4wd parts along side installing my wheels.
My immediate first impressions:
1. Outside vehicle when turned on - not bad at all. At idle it sounds pretty good and mostly that grumble I was hoping for. Throaty V6 sound, a little flat but more improved from stock.
2. Reved up - you hear the turbo for sure. All the mechanics wee commenting that you can finally hear some real potential there.
To describe it I would say it sounded very dry and had some rasp to it. Still it sound good and overall you hear more truck now than anything l.
3. Quick test drive: this was where and I am still am confused. Windows up I could hear it clearly - in fact at around 2k rpm it seems to drone a little. Not the typical drone frequency but a redundant type of gurgle/ it's not quiet anymore. Started to worry what wife would think!!!
At higher rpms you don't hear it so much but when you gas it - watch out. I was hoping not to hear it at all till I jumped on it. Not the case...
It's hard now to remember the real sound vs new artificial sound. Going to take it to another Shop to get a second option. Hopefully they can clear up my issues.
