What did you do to your truck today?

Are you talking with the cutout Dan? I don't doubt it may have some effect on the big end but it is not rational for there to be much difference in the low end / launch. At low RPMs you aren't going to tax even the smallest system. I'm anxious to see some 60 foot times. How is the sound?Ok, WOW.
Not that it didn't before, but holy F*CK does the truck come out of the hole hard now.
There's a street near my house that I do all my "testing" at. With the Flowmaster and dual 2.25" crush bent pipe, launching the way I do at the track (4wd, stalling up to 2500), the truck would do a little bit of a chirp/hop, and then take off.
With the Borla/single 3" mandrel bent pipe that I just put on, WOW. Same street, same launching technique, resulted in 4 or 5 of the "chirp and hop sideways" things (actually started to send me towards the ditch), and a nice chirp of second in 4wd.
I'm really anxious to get back to the track and see how much I gained.
No cutout, that's still in the garage. And the RPM really are never that low, with the 3k stall it's moving a decent amount of air no matter what.
It doesn't make sense to me either, but the difference is undeniable. It never chirped second in 4wd before, and it did it twice, on two different road surfaces tonight, and the amount of "hopping" on launch was more than twice as much.
Track times will tell the full tale.
As for sound, it's a bit mellower, which I like. Not as much rasp, and not quite as loud. I'm not going to judge the tone until I get all four exhaust leaks fixed (both collectors, y-pipe to catback flange, and right in front of the muffler), and give the muffler a chance to "break in", since it's a fiberglass packed muffler.

Well whatever the reason... CONGRATS on the boost in performance! I'm looking forward to a timeslip!
Drove it too the movie to watch Toy Story 3, then stopped at Lowes for propane.

And that was the first time i got crabs...
looked for a new battery for mine, i guess it wont hold a charge and it is in a garage with 5 other vehicle of other guys deployed with me. the guys not deployed take them around the compound every 2 weeks or so and mine is blocking them in.. do they cover batteries under warrenty?
Cat took my 4 yr old to see it also, he really liked it.
