I bought banks for my truck. Drone not bad at all. Now with mbrp duals a little more noise. Doesnt bother me thats what the radio is for. Now banks is sitting in garage beat up, i hate those u clamps.

For the money spent....cut the CAT and stock muffler off....then just throw on a 41" or 51" Donaldson muffler. My set-up is just a touch louder (much deeper tone) and has NO drone at all...its amazing to say the least.

Beg to differ on the Banks...I just removed a banks monster exhaust muffler from my truck. That thing was horrible, cabin drone like you wouldnt believe at 1900rpm! Also very raspy sounding outside.

Now the Donaldson 41" I replaced it with is freaking sweet! quiet in the cab and enough on the outside to let you know its a CTD. Wish I would have done the Donaldson to begin with and would have saved myself alot of money

What's the Donaldson 41" part#?

I had inititally installed the MBRP muffler and never really cared for the drone. Took it off and had a MagnaFlow installed, and that made it better but still a slight drone. After about 8K miles like that, I went back to the muffler shop and had the MBRP installed inline with the MagnaFlow, so now there are 2 mufflers. Much better now.

That's what I did, but I used a 5" ID Donaldson M090535. It's tolerable when unloaded, but break out the ear plugs when towing 10k lbs!!! I kind of regret buying it. Looks good under the truck and sounds unique, but dang it it's loud under load.

I think the 4" Donaldson is much more quiet.

I may go down to see Paul Fox at Orange County Muffler (also Defiant Off-Road) and have a Shuttleworth installed. Might be as quiet as stock, or close to it.

Never heard of the Shuttleworth until now.

Call Paul at Defiant 714-997-9111. I think he's set up as a distributor. I've seen them in person, and they seem to be a well made product. Similar in design to a Donaldson, but with bigger louvers (as opposed to perforations) that won't get plugged with soot.

AFAIK Shuttleworth doesn't have a website...

DirtEater

Maybe I'll see if Defiant shows it. I met Paul, back when he and Carli were in the same building. Sage installed his Carli suspension system in my truck back then. Both, are good guys.

Dave,
Did you get your Shuttleworth from Defiant?
