I would like to hear a sound clip just to see how the cam sounds now with it dumped.

Here's a short clip. It's sure to disappoint as I don't have a nasty lope in my cam.

Wow, that's one of the best quality vids that I've seen of the exhaust note. I think that it sounds pretty good, but you know the boys are going to ask for you to rev it up a bit though!

so the drone is from having to much piping and by cutting it down it got rid of most of it?

I'll be honest, I don't know what causes drone. It would take a far deeper understanding of physics than I possess. I do know that tail pipe length plays a role, but I'm not exactly sure why.

What brand muffler do you have on there? Does the exhaust fumes come into the cab at all at idle? Did it change the sound in the cab besides the drone (louder?)

It's a gibson muffler. No fumes in the cab because it's dumping past the axle and the velocity of the exhaust is blowing it out past the bumper. I can hear my exhaust a little more clearly, but I think that's because the drone is not clouding the sound.
