Got it installed this morning which is a no brainer...a semi-trained Houge could pull it off and not even need a "program" to do it. LOL

Anyway...went for about an 80 mile drive to see if it lived up to the hype.
Truth is....it's even better that they say.
I had a drone at 75ish mph that almost prevented conversation from happening....it's GONE. I don't mean almost gone...GONE. The only thing I hear now at anywhere from 60-100 mph is the injectors clicking and a little turbo whistle that I didn't even know was there because the drone was so bad.

EGT's did not change one bit....still 650* on the nose at 75 mph so I guess there's no added restriction in the exhaust with that thing.
Nothing else changed except the drone. Still has a nice tone to the exhaust both at idle and driving....I can't say enough good things about this part.

If drone is your issue...FTE has your solution.

It seems like guys with stacks are loving this part...that's why I posted this here too. It doesn't kill any tone...only the drone.
Damned if I know how it works...but the stack guys say they can actually hear now while driving. That's gotta be a plus if you have a pair of cannons firing into your back glass.

I have a muffler also. My goal is quieter than stock inside the cab...I think I've achieved that.
I could not be happier with this part.

I didn't even get it from Wally. I bought it from a guy that installed it and it was too quiet for him so he replaced it with their short version after a day or 2 of use.

5" standard single side exit.
With the tip being 6" off the ground and a hollow bed with hard cover making an echo chamber...my truck is a recipe for drone. Or was...I had a very enjoyable 2 hour drive to the beach today...my daughter and I could actually talk for a change.
I don't talk up too many parts but if you have a drone issue you need this part...period.

Ive been thinking about his single stack kit along with the resinator as well... Glad to hear good things about it.

Last week I put this resonator and a 4" flowmaster hushpower on my 03, 7.3.

When I first started the truck I noticed that noise came from the front of the truck (engine) and not from all around me like it had before. I can now hear my back tires going down the road and have noticed I keep my radio down 2-3 notches lower on the volume control.

My truck is an 03,7.3, 4x4, 6spd CCSB with 170k.

Would I recommend this combo, YES. I can hear the turbo better and it has removed the cruising drone from the cab. I do have to mash the throttle harder to get a rumble out of the truck but that is what I was looking for.
