Oh no I 1000% know the work he's put in to create that system. I've made a custom helmholtz resonator setup on abprevious rig myself to great success (it's just very time consuming). Ultimately my problem is that I'm a cheap bastard with some free time haha. If it wasn't $1,500 for the muffler or $2,000 for the muffler plus rear resonator delete I'd snatch one up real quick.Ultimately, if you want a good exhaust note on this truck without drone, you really need to get a BA Muffler.
I know Keith at BA Muffler spent a ton of time and a lot of trial and error to make a Helmholtz resonator on the exhaust system that dang near made the drone nonexistent in the cabin (especially if you get the 10 or 12 inch setup). I had the 12 inch setup and the exhaust note was a little too quiet, and the 8 inch is a little too loud, so the 10 inch would have been perfect.
Keith actually swapped out my 12 for the 8 for free, other than paying for the shipping costs. I didn’t want to bother him again to go to 10 though.
Not exactly sure why these trucks drone so much, but it may have to do with the insulation in the cabin.
During the summer, I swap out the exhaust so I can enjoy it on the road with the windows down. But during the winter, I go back to stock to enjoy the nice quiet cabin. $25 for a new seal on the back end of the exhaust and 30-40 minutes of my time is all it takes to swap them out.
