Are you going to ditch the drop-in bedliner and get a spray-in? You mentioned drone at 55 and 80, how is it at 70?

Definitely get rid of the drop in. Had mine in for almost 3 years and it screwed up the paint bad. Just did the Line-x and love it.

I plan on getting full use of the drop-in and if/when it starts to look tired or I notice it's damaging the bed, there's a Line-X facility the next town over. I do like the look of the drop-in, surprisingly.

70 isn't bad unless you're under load (going up a hill, headwind, etc). I say 55 and 80 in 6th are the worst because the rpm range just hits that drone sweetspot. Even still, it's not that undesirable, middle-tone, brain vibrating exhaust note you normally call drone. This is a low rumble you feel it in your chest.

Having said that, if exhaust noise in general is a concern of yours the MBRP turndown is not for you.
