Ordered my Aero Turbine 2525 today

no i dont have headers. y?

 

yeah i dont want a resonator, i'm just not sure if i want the 3030 or 3030 xl to replace my flowmaster 40

 

my question was to colton

 

Dammit it's going to take a day longer to deliver. I work from home on Thursdays and was supposed to get delivery at my office today so I could have it installed tomorrow. Now, I'll be at home and this thing will be delivered to my work 40 miles away. WTF now I guess I'll just have to take Friday off.

 

It just came in today so I'm making the drive to my office and then out to Tempe to get it put on at 3. Yay!

 

well how does it sound?

 

I must admit, I'm really surprised at how much it quiets up at freeway speed. Actually, 35MPH at level speed quiets up quite decently too. I'm very happy with the sound at take-off, but I must say there is some rasp that some might not like but I think it sounds great. Nice throaty sound if you don't hammer the throttle too hard at take-off.

Now the performance part. I must admit that I felt an immediate uptick in horsepower, especially in higher gears. Accelleration across each gear was smoother than normal with the A/C on, and on certain spots on the freeway where there is a slight uphill grade I didn't have to force it at all to keep it at 70-75. Actually, I was hardly on the pedal when I normally would be giving it a little more gas. The true test will be to see if I get any mileage improvement at all over the next couple tanks. I just filled up on my way to the shop, so I'll see if this tank gets me a bit further than normal. Keep in mind I also have a K&N CAI with a freshly recharged filter.

One last note.. where it's installed, it's visible through the passenger wheel well and looks bad-ass. It's a bright shiny stainless and they faced the embossed logo outward so you can see it clearly without having to get under the truck. Pretty slick touch. It is very narrow so it fits up snug underneath, so I'm not going to worry about bottoming out on it. I would have gotten pics, but the sun went down and I didn't want to use the flash. I'll post some later.

As a last note, Scottsdale Muffler hooked it all up again. This is my 3rd vehicle that I've had exhaust work done on with them, and once again I'm pleased. Out the door was $50.00 ($40 for 1/2 hour labor and $10 for 3 new hangers installed) and they were done in 20 minutes.

 

mine has a drone at about 20mph

 

Definitely a big thanks on all the good detailed info. I'm very happy with it!

 

Right on Adam...glad your happy with it bud I can't wait to hear it

 

sorry for the necro post but,

if i was to get the 2525, and do NOT plan to get headers, can I expect lots of rasp? I hate rasp more than anything in the world. I dont mind a slight drone.

 

What is that?

 

Oh gotcha mine does that too sometimes if I type too fast. So do you think the already resonated XL version would take care of this as well or is just better to go with a different aftermarket resonator? Would the resonator also get rid of droning?

 

Seabass!! Installed the 2525 on my taco today!! (Gift from the GF ). It sounds awesome! Thanks for all the info.
