Thank You! Does it affect the way the door closes?

Minimal, if anything, on my truck. Not like new perimeter door seals, which usually make the door a little harder to close for a while.

It's one of the best bangs-for-the-buck addition or mod I've made on the truck. Along with sound deadening and heat insulation on the cab floor, the truck is very quiet inside. Wind noise, road noise, and exhaust noise are all subdued compared to what I started with. May have to get some louder mufflers!

Thumbs up Quietude

? Who needs mufflers ?! .

I realize it depends on your engine but most stock engines only need twice pipes with a proper crossover as close to the headers as possible and then a 2-1/2" pipe all the way to the back to sound very nice and not overly loud .

Re: Big 10 adventure!

I bought a new set of rubber core support mounts from Classic Parts and installed them yesterday. Hopefully, they will hold up better than the ones I got from LMC.
