I enjoy the noise from my Gibson SuperTruck. As I was told by one of my police buddy's... "not legal".

i have a V force muffler on mine and i like the sound of it. it is not to loud but has a nice rumble to it. just cut out the stock muffler and put the v force in. you may want to look into that.

Does it require modding for the trailer hitch?

Nice truck!
No sound clips, but I could do some this weekend.

No modding required for the hitch...no issues there.

Thanks--absolutely love it.

I dont think you will be disappointed with any of the aforementioned exhausts.

Here is my feedback....I just went through 4 mufflers this summer trying to find the right sound I could live with. I love low and rumble sounds but cant stand highway drone. You have to ask your self how much highway drone you can stand because the MDS is gonna give it to you. My HEMI isnt a MDS and I had to fine tune the drone out though out the summer. My exhaust system is a dual out the back behind both wheels. I started with a Cherrybomb PRO and the sound was great but the exhaust drone would rattle your teeth lose. Like a blow subwoofer at 58-68mph. Awesome around town. I then tried the Cherrybomb Vortex. Much better but the drone was still bad on the highway. I then tried a Cherrybomb Turbo. It still sounded mean and the drone was less but still too much to live with. My final setup was a IMCO/Cherrybomb elite type of muffler. It was as long as the stock muffler but free flowing. The idle sound was good but not as mean sounding as the last 3 mufflers . The exhaust drone was gone.
I am very happy with the setup. After a full day of hunting, a hour drive back from my cabin with a exhaust drone would drive me insane so my final setup was the right choice for me.

thread jack, but oyu might want to know this too.

anyone messed with exhausts and removed drone without changin muffler? i got a 5x8(x11/14?) magnaflow with a dual rear out. it has a bit of drone between 1500 and 1900. anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of that? maybe put a small resonator back in? anyone tried that? it's bolted, so I could do that, but don't want to increase restriction any.

To get rid of my drone in a non MDS HEMI, I had to go with a longer higher volume muffler. The shorter ones all droned for me. I went to 2 diferent custom exhaust shops. The first shopped didnt know how to get rid of drone. The second shop was a very old and experienced owner that said most mufflers are too small and short for a big V8. He was right because when he welded in the new longer IMCO muffler, the drone was gone accross the entire RPM. I was more than happy with the results.
