    How is it on the highway? I do like the stock quiet exhaust, but I'd like a lil sound in the streets but nice and quiet on highway. I remember when I removed my muffler from prev car many years ago and straight piped it...man it was annoying...even hard to have convo on highway lol...

    Too few to list.
    If you like the quite stock exhaust stay away from this muffler as it is not quiet though for a little sound Magnaflow is probably what you'd want. We have it on another truck and it's louder than stock but quiet compared to Aero turbine/SpinTech/flowmaster.

    Would there be any advantage of having a flowmaster cat back to the aero turbine?

    None.

    And to answer a previous question... I have all 4 of my cats removed and also now have DTLT headers. Removing the cats will definitely make you louder and add more rasp into the equation. If you are just looking for a little different sound, leave the cats on. My backpressure in this truck is now nil, so my low end power suffers

    Aero Turbine exhausts are also designed to create scavenging within itself. Thus increasing the flow of the exhaust.

    Flowmaster brand is not.

    Not with an O2 simulator.

    This one from URD is plug n play. :thumbsup:

    Only necessary when removing the front pair of cats. Not the rear.

    How much louder is the 2525 from the 2525xl. I want it loud and I want it to rumble. And how bad is the droning?

    Check my build thread...too much to list.
    I couldn't give you a clear answer for highway but I hear my KM2s more than I hear my exhaust.

    I am thinking about doing this also. I am going to order the 2525XL off of eBay. From what I have gathered best thing to do is leave everything stock and turn down before axle. What is the perks to leaving the pipe come out the side and putting a tip on it? If any??

    That sounded pretty damn good dude. Good for loud. But I completely agree. After some time, that loud of exhaust would wear you down.

    I originally bought the AT3030, when I was doing my exhaust. Non Resonated. I never installed it because Toon picked it up from me. He installed it with the 3" Vibrant resonator. It sounded good, but was still loud.

    I ended up going with the AT3535XL. Half inch larger diameter, resonated, with the 3.5" Vibrant resonator. It was much quiter than the non resonated AT3030.

    My vote is hands down the Resonated (XL) version.

    Here is mine:

    I can pretty much just remove the rear cats so i don't mess with the CEL and get a little more rasp...shouldn't affect the back pressure so much

    You can do whatever you want... I am just telling you my experience with it. I originally just removed the rear cats. Having a straight through style muffler minus a set of cats will decrease your backpressure by a good bit. I'm just saying that my lack of power down low kinda sucks in the mountains around here.

    If you turn it down before the axle, it will make the exhaust drone. If you do it after the axle, it will drone less. If you aim it out from under turf truck, similar but not limited to stock style, it will drone the very least, if any. Tips are for looks, unless they are designed to soften the exhaust noise more, or have some other impact on the exhaust.

    Haven't really looked, but I haven't seen any for aluminum exhaust tubing, lately. ;)

    Got it...I will just do the muffler, loud sound and smooth so it should be good. Better than my original option of flowmasters.
