    I'm running 6 ply C.

    The exhaust is very loud considering the only thing modified on my exhaust system is the muffler. Drone isn't the greatest.... but it hasn't gotten annoying at all during in-town driving, but I haven't driven more than 45 min on the highway yet, so I may re-think that once I go on a long rod trip... :eek: When the engine is cold and I rev up over 3K rpms, it sounds pretty bad... very raspy. (but then the deckplate roars up to "kind of" hide the rasp lol) Once the engine warms up it's fine though and it sounds awesome. :) And I've been told that an exhaust tip wil help with the rasp, I just haven't put one on yet. And I've come to fall in love with the decelaration popping/barbling! :D Sure, accelaration sounds great too, but there's just something about the gurgling sound that gets too me. haha :D

    If you're looking for a loud muffler that sounds great, I totally recommend it! It's probably not a good idea if you don't want too much drone though...

    I'll try and get some drive by videos and some in the cab videos on the highway sometime soon.

    Just finished repainting an old canopy I got free off craig's list for the 04 tacoma and changed the oil the day before. The dog seems stoked with it and is happy she won't be getting soaked this winter.

    FWIW, my new (2011) corolla (yeah, I know :crapstorm: ) came with 0w20 synthetic. Toyota recommends an oil change at 10,000 miles. :eek:

    Having said that, my 3.4L only gets Mobil1 5w30. I change it a 5K.
