Perfect! You're not going to realize how you've dealt with the drone for this long...

well......?!

Well.... we got lost in a miss understanding... Between emails, multiple phone calls, the sketch (which I left the original on the driver seat), they got it all wrong. They installed two resonators down stream of the X-pipe. And on top of that, when I started the truck I could hear a leak. I jumped under the truck (in my nice work clothes) and what did I find, a leak at one of their welds on the new resonators....

I went in the shop and asked for the owner to come out. He came out and I showed him the exhaust leak, which he immediately said he'd take care of. Then I pulled the drawings out while we where under there and started showing him what I wanted. He said he never even saw the drawings. So, oh shit.... we never even started on the same page.

He fixed the leak, and I told him I'd try it and see what I thought. If I didn't like it I'd bring it back and we'd try it my way.

I drove the truck a little bit, and it was a lot quieter. At take off with WOT, it was much quieter. No more braaaapbaaaap baaap baap, thupthupthup. I was disappointed. The drone was still there around 35 / 40 MPH but the exhaust was quieter overall. I wasn't able to get it cruise it at 65 for very long, but I wasn't completely happy. :mad:

RW and I had dinner and took the truck back so the guy can do it right.

We live an hour from Wilmington, so it's a pain to run a drop a truck off up there. And this isn't a good week. Got lots going on. I won't be going to get it until he sends me a picture of what it looks like. :flipthebird:
