I purchased a muffler eliminator kit from Genos Garage for my 2002 and loved it ( sounded demonic) until I hooked up the trailer and pulled her hard, then I wanted to climb out of the cab at 65mph. The drone in the cab was to much for me and the family so the muffler went back on. I havent been in a 3rd gen with a straight pipe, so I dont know if its as bad.
