My flowmasters are so loud in the cab I almost can't hear my radio. Gets annoying after awhile. Been so long since I have drove it, I think I will be able to deal with it though :lol:

Glad the stuff came in 355. Hope everything goes smoothly.

Luvnit, got your exhaust all planned out. Headers, piped to the rear. No cat, no mufflers just a couple of coffee can sized fart cannons at the end.

Hey luv355, good luck.... Im taking mine into the exhaust shop in the mornin to have my exhaust done for the 4th time..... I keep on changin things around and is costin me alot of $$$$. With that 350 in mine, its actually pretty quiet in the cab. Dual exaust all the way back from the headders to the quad tips (stainless dual tips on both pipes), with a 30" glass on each pipe.... But then again I do have 1200w stereo in it too.... :twisted:

Thanks wicked. I have two friends coming over in the morn to help out. I won't be surprised if it's running tomorrow night. I'm thinking 2 hours tops to get the motor in, then it's just bolting up. We will see :lol:
