Opinions on Potential Hybrid Mods ...

At the exhaust shop removing resonator ...

... a few before and after pics in this album: http://gallery.me.com/soulsea#100012&bgcolor=black&view=grid

I can't tell you how happy I am to have done this. Not only that ugliness is off the back of the truck, but she's purring like a kitten. Very subtle, no drone, perfect!

Btw, clamped AND welded, perfect fit ... don't know why the other asshats told me they couldn't weld it.

Thanks Jacob.

Btw, I decided to put the 3rd row seat back in to see if it would lower the rear a tad, and it actually did. Then I removed the resonator, but that doesn't weigh that much ... it actually made a little difference:
