Just had a vortex 18" installed to replace my muffler. Sounds pretty good. :D

Traction Control button pushed just once


Traction Control held down for 12 seconds

I borrowed my wife's and in the process of trying to get them uploaded. But the sound clip will have to wait since she has a "fancy" digital SLR that doesn't do short movies.. *sigh*

Dunno yet, was sent home when wife found out I was hanging at the Muffler shop... seems like I got some gains will do a unscientific study of 1 week of driving to work after I reset the computer.

Sounds great, how's the interior noise?? Is it Family friendly??

On the highway it mellows out quite a bit so family friendly on road trips. Maybe a tad loud when your on the gas. If I can ever find my firewire I would do a camcorder on the inside so you can hear the ambient noise. Or figure out this new camera and try.

You know I never asked. The original Cherry bombs were red and their vortex was a black box type of muffler (had one on my old 3/4 Suburban) loved it!

I think in this case its just the concept design hense the name. I will try and remember to ask my guy at the shop.

Sounds very aggressive, let us know if there is any gain in performance

Well so far I have noticed my foot has gained a little bit of weight, and I am still gaining about 1-2mpg. So it seems to be helping a tad. Now I did not notice a RPM drop like I did in my 3.7L at 65mph.

The RPM will not drop by upgrading the exhaust system !! ,, the RPM depends on the transmission, transfer case, and diffs gear ratios and the tire size !!

Just got my camera back from the wife who took it to Texas with her. I will try and post a inside movie of accelerating and cruise for you guys so you know how loud it is inside.
