It's a lot of fun; I love the adrenaline rush I would have majored in Meteorology but it wasn't offered as a degree at the U of A and my college there was paid for... if it had been different I'd have gone to OU and gotten a weather and climate degree...

It's generally only on the highway between 1900 and 2300 RPM.

Oh, man, it was so hard getting off the boat. I had a freaking blast. Met tons of people, drank enough where my liver is operating at about 25% right now... and did a lot of laying out in the sun. I look vaguely Mexican... blonde Mexican

Hahaha you wouldn't like mine then. Its crazy loud. I like it though, drove all the way to phoenix and back and it didn't bother me. But i'm used to Skips old 500hp truck - i could sit in the middle and barely hear him talk to me. Miss that truck.

Not at all! I like it until I had to listen to it for 8 hours straight.


One of the guys at the dealership told me installing the resonated X is going to make my exhaust sound "higher" and "more ricey." I wonder if there is any truth to that....

Not surprising. You drive a V8-- and it was new. She'll notice it in time, but it probably won't bother her. I'm weird about stuff like that.
