    The borla and thrushs that I heard were kind of ricey. I like the sound of the flowmaster, it actually surprises me how deep it is. Not a v8 sound, but a sound of it's own that I like. I get comments quite often on it. But in the 5000 rpm range, it's just as ricey as them all haha

    And the drone is really not that bad right? Everybody complains about the drone but it's really not terrible. To me it drones more at like 35-40 then at highway cause it's still in 4th gear and not O/D

    True. Not as bad as everyone says. I usually have the radio up enough so i can't hear it.
    Drone or no drone, it's way better than stock!

    Definitely. I think headers in mine would make it sound a bit more even. It kind of sounds weird at certain rpms. Just not an even exhaust note. But definitely better them stock. I think everybody who complains of drone has the cutoff right under the cab. My buddy has an f250 with the v10 with a flow 40, and the cutoff is right under the cab. Thing sounds like a freaking tank haha. Only good v10 I've heard, but the drone is terrible

    True. I'm thinking about cutting mine after the axle but that's as far as I'll go with it

    You drive the holy grail of tacos I notice. Lucky bastard :p. I don't even have a 4x4, but I didn't pay for it. So I gotta be appreciative. I had a chance to get a 98 dodge dakota 4x4. 318 5 speed. 94k miles. Wish I had gotten it

    Idk, looks pretty cool now, maybe some LEDs if you're into that. I put some in my interior and plan on putting some in the grille for "raptor" lights.

    Thats pretty cool. Our new Rav4 has lighted cup holders, and they are pretty cool. I have been wanting to replace my glove box light with an LED. I like the idea of a center console light, but mine is really to small for that haha

    First gen is about deep enough to keep 2 eyeglass cases in, cause they are slightly tilted. Not even long enough to put mine straight in lol. On the upside, I have 6 cupholders. 2 in the place the 4x4 shifter should be haha
