    MBRP Stainless Catback => S5334409 [this works on both the 2WD and 4WD Ext Cab]
    I think there is plenty of extra pipe to accommodate the DC but you should check to be sure :thumbsup:
    MBRP Resonator => R1012 [BTW, I neglected to include this in my total system pricing but I got it on sale for $69 so not a big $$ adder]
    Magnaflow 5x11x22 => 14586
    New cat has no affect on the sound . . . just needed to be replaced.

    And, though I do not know why, I did record this HD [Canon 5D] and the HD recording "does" sound better than what I uploaded. What I uploaded sounds [pardon the pun] "muffled" compared to the HD version I recorded. Hopefully I can show that when/if I get the bandwidth to upload the HD version. Not going to spend 2 freakin' hours again like I had to for the first show and tell video. But, if the LD version sounds good enough to you, then you will simply be happier with the HD version or more importantly "how the system actually sounds". I may also go record an "in cab while driving" variant when I get a chance . . .

    Thanks for the info. I think my point was that an audio file (even a good quality one) is a far smaller file than nearly any video file, which would help you a great deal with your ISP because us seeing the truck is immaterial to how it sounds ...

    For example, this last video you have here weighs 2.6MB. Not a large file by any means but I extracted just its audio and got a file that's less than half the size, 857kb.

    Of course, the real heartbreak of it is if you uploaded something far larger and the file hosting service then shrunk it down to the 2.6MB we see here.

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a mod that allows you to run open headers with the flip of a switch? I remember such a mod for my Buick GN back in the day. It allowed you to run open headers with the flip of a switch but when you wanted a quieter ride you could close the valve and run the exhaust through your exhaust system.

    I'm kind of digging this sound, but there's no way in hell I want to listen to it all the time!
