sawzall with a metal blade. Just cut at the front of the exhaust (2 bolts), after the 2nd set of catalytic convertor. You can tell by putting the new exhaust together next to the truck.

FYI - it will have a drone at ~2k rpms

Killed DRONE!!

Ladies and Gents, First off, thank you to the TT world for helping me with ideas on how to kill drone. First off, let me give you a little history. I am a OIF/OEF veteran. I was also infantry. I tell you this because I now have a hearing disability. So anyway, Titan + LT headers + B-pipes +...

Even with the OEM manifolds?

 

Yes.. Google it, ~2k RPM's. Two ways to fix it:
1) Add a Resonator - Killed DRONE!!
2) cut the tail pipe after the hanger (I did this) -

This is good to know! I appreciate the info!

 

How did it go?

 

Other than the the inlet and outlet on the muffler being bent (I assume because of shipping) and having to pound the exhaust together, it went well. The existing exhaust that was installed by a pervious owner was so unbearably loud and droned like crazy thanks to a cheap Flowmaster. There is now a 100% improvement in sound and volume. I am catching a hint of drone because I haven't ordered the UQR yet but worlds better! I am catching a little bit of CIS and I don't know if its a tick from the manifolds or what, so that's something I'll need to figure out...

Thank you so much for the help and advice,

And thank you, Night Owl and your amazing team for selling an amazing product!

 

The UQR is pretty much required equipment for our trucks. I was thrilled with the elimination of drone when I installed mine.

 

Cutting the tailpipe off by ~12" will eliminate the drone. There's no need to buy a resonator. My 05 is 17 years old now runniing a JBA catback, and the drone is still minimal after cutting the tailpipe off.
