Default exhaust changes

Finally got around to doing exhaust today. Installed an MBRP muffler kit MK96116 and the MBRP cat delete pipe.

Went pretty smooth, hardest thing was getting the existing muffler out of the hangers.

Truck sounds pretty good now. Much deeper tone than stock and a nice rumble when I step on it. But, not so loud to get old on long trips which was important since I drive at least 3 hours a day. Does seem that the turbo is starting to spool up a little sooner. Over all, I'd say well worth the effort.

Now I just need to get a couple tanks of fuel through it and see if it had any impact (good or bad) on milage.

Well, I figure the rest of this tank and the next one will be poor milage because I'll have a hard time keeping my foot out of it.
Maybe in a couple weeks I can drive like a semi-sane person and get a good baseline.

I hear you. That sound can be addicting.
