Yesterday I took the truck in to get exhaust done and I knew I was doing the cut outs no mater what and was on the fence between flow master or volant (buddy has the super 40 on his ram and sounds good) And was talking to the guy at the shop and they had to order the volant and It wouldn't be till next weekend b4 he could get to it. He said the super 40 would sound good and that he could do a true dual system... He also said if I didn't like it he would swap it out and it wouldn't cost me labor just would have to pay for muffler...they installed everything and it looks great. The super 40s sounds good...sounds great idling and good driving in the city and getting on the hi way, it gets a lil quiet at hi way speeds but that may not be a bad thing. Really surprised on how it sounds. That Brings me to this morning went out to the garage and took off the plates to the cut outs and started her up... First reaction OH SHIT!! It's loud real loud. drove it around a little bit noticed it vibrates the interior a lil bit and getting on the hi way you feel it. Sounds great. I pulled up to a light and a cop pulled next to me and thought to my self were about to see if it's to loud lol... When we took off he did a double take and went on so woohoo. I'll post some pics

Looks like clean work. That's got to be loud with the small flow master. I would definitely agree that the cutouts are loud as hell. Fun every once in a while to uncork it and hear it roar. Might want to be careful with those cutouts hanging low like that, maybe your not planning on off-roading too much though. Have fun with it! I'm sure you will.

Yes, I live in CA and have asked around and heard several times from several sources that anything after the catalytic converters has no effect on smog test. You could take out the resonator and the muffler and still be fine. The resonator and muffler are purely about sound and doesn't effect emissions.

Just because California's regulations are gay, doesn't mean you have to be!

The answer to the question about the smog is true, you will pass smog just fine without a resonator.

Say what you want about CA, but it is beautiful and there's no place like it. I've lived in many different states from Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and Arizona...wouldnt want to live anywhere else.

I love it too minus the politics. I lived in Auburn my whole life and miss it every day. Just don't know if I can ever move back.
