I have the V6.
Thanks FrenicX, that sounds great, dont think my V6 would sound quite as nice lol, but certainly better. I was just wondering how loud does it sound in the cab under normal driving, not to loud or annoying?

Frenic, the plan is to (eventually) do a 4.7L swap. The 3.7L is a pig. However, the intake, exhaust, and e-fan woke it up a bit. Now all I need is the Hypertech Max Energy for an additional 25whp. After that, I will start the 4.7L swap. Speaking of which....you will have a 4.7L available some time soon....won't you....

Sorry, thought you were implying that since it was a V6, it sounded like a bird tweeting.

That's sounds like loads of fun, you'll be looking for a 545RF.E too right? I'm keeping mine for now, but the motor will be up for grabs. You're the closest person to ask about it so far too

Negative...staying with the 6-speed manual transmission.

Why did you go down in exhaust size? Factory is 2.5" from the "Y" all the way back.
