The stock exhaust on the Trailboss leaves a lot to be desired. This video covers the installation of the AFE muffler delete pipe and the new sound you can achieve in about 30 minutes of work with some basic tools. Now we can tell there is actually a V8 under the hood!

I'm finishing up my coffee and heading out to chop off the HUGE muffler and replace with the muffler delete by MBRP. I too will be leaving flapper valve for now and then possibly do the spring mod to keep it open. Likely I'll run with this until I save up some sheckles for the full cat back. Truck sounds great man, nice job!

Not sure what that costs but my local exhaust guy does muffler deletes for $60 plus tax. He will take the flapper valve out too, make a new piece of pipe, and weld it in. Takes like 20 minutes once the truck is in the air. Your truck sounds good. Now it sounds like a proper V8.

My home is 1/4 mile from a Texas State Highway. When we moved here 6 years ago it was tranquil. Now, the highway has been widened and traffic has increased 10-fold. To make matters worse, in the middle of the night and early in the morning, I am jarred awake in my bedroom from the noise of every truck, car, and motorcycle that have 'deleted' mufflers. I thought they put mufflers on vehicles for a reason.
