I just had this exhaust installed today, and I've driven it all of 20 minutes, city+highway, tossed it into manual to play with different RPM sounds. It will need to break in of course. Some initial thoughts:
No issues installing with factory hitch, it's tucked way up there, definitely not going to smash it on departing obstacles. I can actually hear the motor on idle. I love the low rumble you hear at all speeds. It's a lot quieter inside than I was expecting. WOT sounds good, but not loud at all inside. In the cabin with load on the motor between 1600-2100 RPM there is some drone. If I'm in that range but just cruising it's VERY minimal, only when there's load my ears pick it up the most between 1700-2000 RPM. The drone is louder than the sound of the exhaust across all RPM ranges. Since it's only day one it's hard to say whether or not it's going to bother me. With the music on (not loud) it didn't bother me at all.
If after a few weeks it's bothering me I'll look into getting a quarter wave or helmholtz resonator made.
