I'm sure it will not take the whole weekend even for you. I think you can do it in less than 8 hours
No it will not hurt a thing and the best part is that you can put it back on if you don't like the sound!

Tuesday I was playing around with a tractor wrecker on the highway, he was laying down some smoke so I decided to pull ahead of him a bit and give him some smoke for fun, next thing I see is the thickest, blackest smoke from this guys stacks as he does 80 past me(I was doing 70 at the time) people were literaly diveing off the road to get away from the smoke the both of us were making.

confusion here... the exhaust is much quieter now with the aero on... I still have my ring installed, meaning I'm thinking of yanking it.

You switched from a Magnaflow to the Aero didn't you? Maybe that's why your's is quiter now. I switched from a stock set up.

I'm sure the sound won't bother me. When I'm not cruising in my Ram, I'm out on my scoot. The louder the better. LOL !!
My scoot ...

Naah , I wasn't confused, I'm just really surprisedthat your exhaust is quieter with the Aero. Mine is definately louder, but a cool louder.

actually, the mag is still on there. w/o the backpressure of the aero it was pretty loud under load.

Gimmie the layout of your current exhaust again.
I thought you went from the turbo, cat, to the Aero and out through the tail.

Steve,,,, Mayfair is real, real confused,, you may have to draw a diagram in crayon for him. Mayfair, its o.k., confused, slow people are people too. As far as being louder,,, the pitch of the sound that the turbo makes seems to be lower than with the ring installed, but the decibel level of the sound is much higher, the funny thing is that when accelerating it sounds like the truck is gonna take off and fly, but once I reach resonance I can only hear it slightly.
