Default Excursion exhaust

Anyone that can recommend a good aftermarket exhaust or muffler ? I would like to free mine up a little but DO NOT want any mind bending drone or otherwise annoying or loud noise inside the truck

Not loud at all... Her truck is so fricking quiet.

LOL... Nope... I get an allowance. I have a little issue with money. If I have it, I spend it...

She got it from a friend of ours... I paved his parking lot (muffler shop) and got a bunch of stuff in trade for it...

Long story short it was retail of about $350 bucks IIRC.

Any of the sponsers should be able to get you one for about that same cost. A superduty unit will NOT fit.

Sounds like my situation.....she has the money.....I haven't seen the check book for like 9 yrs. All I know is the lights are on,the house is warm and there's food and beer in the fridge ! Maybe I'll request a quote then.......Got a great deal on a new trans temp from GOS performance doing that.........you sure it's not loud inside ?? Have you had it on any long trips ? Did she go with stainless ?

Its aluminized... And very quiet.

You cant believe how quiet it is. We have gone on lots of long trips with it. We always take it over the GBB (Great Big Bitch=my truck)...
