[QUOTE="BalanBro, post: 1842752, member: 62816"] Just to throw another data point out there, I recently purchased a 2014 Raptor SCREW with the rear exit Roush exhaust, and the drone was unbearable. I was trying to figure out a cost effective solution and see what I could do with basic hand tools, and I may have found the answer. Roush uses 3" piping, so I picker up the Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator (1142) and some lap joint exhaust clamps. I used one of those handheld "chain" style tailpipe cutters and cut out a section of pipe, slid in the Vibrant 1142 and clamped both ends. The result was a very noticeable improvement, but still a bit of drone. I then called the Vibrant tech support line, and came to find out that the Vibrant 1103 "muffler" was constructed identically to the 1142 resonator, but was larger in every dimension (same pipe diameter though), and would be a more effective option. So I removed the 1142, cut off a little more pipe and put the 1103 "muffler" in place with the lap joint clamps. I'm happy to say that this pretty much did the trick, and the truck sounds quite tame under part throttle and cruising. It was a nice easy DIY job, and didn't break the bank, as the muffler was about $125, plus another $20 for the clamps, and maybe another 10-15 for the tailpipe cutter tool (you could also just use a recip saw with a metal cutting blade, although I think the pipe cutter leaves a cleaner cut). And the best part is no welding necessary, which makes this doable for nearly anyone with basic mechanical skills and tools. [/QUOTE]
