uhhhhhhhhh.........well it make the interior very loud pretty much anytime you were on the throttle......only time it was quiet is if yer gliding down hill. heck i dont know some people might like that sort of thing, but it grew old with me real fast. I dont mind loud outside the truck but i dont want to have to yell to talk the the passenger.

i have it on my 5.9 and i am not going to lie towing anything heavy at over 2000 rpm is deafening in the cab just for normal driving i really like the sound and dont think its that loud in the cab you can talk probably a little louder than normal, with the window open its a little louder, if you tow a bunch dont get it and i didnt see any noticable mileage gains from it, if any they were not enought to justify the cost of the muffler based on mileage gains alone

I have one on my truck and it does hit a bad resonance over 2k under load and no it doesn't do anything for your mileage in my experience.

I will probably replace it soon.

Do you think it is allowing the truck to breath better and wont cause egt carbon up of the cat?

I had an AeroTurbine on my '04 with a 6spd. The trick with those tubes is to mount them as close to the downpipe as possible. Mine had NO drone. In fact, it was a lot like my straight-piped '98 but smoother and less bite to the sound. A quality piece if you ask me......
