I received my 10" system in on Thursday and just got a chance to put it in. On start up it is a deep mellow tone, but then took it out for a little test drive and it opens up and sounds great. I didn't want a loud system, so the 10" is perfect for my needs and I did notice the shes a little pepper then before. Thanks Keith for all your help! Just wondering how much drone can I expect without the resonator on the 10" system?
there is just enough to notice, how much YOU notice is the variable. Only way to tell is after you've been on the highway for 30 mins. or so. Test it out before going on a long trip. If too much install the helmholtz resonator for that 'stock sound'
Just got word that my system was delivered to my front porch this afternoon! Wife said that the FedEX driver was mumbling about it being heavy.......WOO-HOO!! I am stuck up here at work until late this evening - so I think it is going to be a late night in the garage getting this bolted up!
first long road trip with BA budget system installed. first off, OMG i love the sound. but yeah, it drones, a lot. sometime next week i'll install the resonator, hopefully that will help with the drone, if not, I'm ok with that. it seems that i was the only one in the truck bothered by it, mom/wife/kids didn't care. for the cost/sound, i give this system a 5 out of 5 stars. install was super easy too.
I'm glad you were able to drive the truck for a distance WITHOUT the helmholtz> During my initial testing, with how bad the drone was, I didn't think there was anything that could 'fix' it.
When I perfected the helmholtz resonator design (which is the one sitting in your garage right now) I literally slapped my knee laughing and almost wrecked my truck>
the difference with the helmholtz installed is dramatic. Get it on there and post up here:nerd:
Waiting is the hardest part...didn't Tom Petty break my heart with that? Of course, not having a torque wrench, or a plasma cutter, I'll need to wait even longer until a local muffler / speed shop can do the install. . . on my pending 8" Stainless with Helmontz (sp)....he said, looking west over the horizon, waiting for the NC Mating Call....
You don't need a torque wrench nor a plasma cutter to do the install. Regular wrench will do just fine, and just get a 2" hole saw for the helmholtz resonator hole. Took me about 40 minutes to install everything. Nice video here:

@dirtydeeds,
I was digging around to see what hole saws I had stashed around and found a 1.75in one. This got me to wondering if there has been any experimentation on how the hole size drilled for the resonator might change the sound without changing the diameter of the resonator?
I always recommend 2" because that leaves a clear path from the tailpipe into the helmholtz. Although, in theory I would guess that 1 3/4" would work fine but I can't recommend that.
Naturally, I was just wondering if that was part of development/tweaking. I'm sure I can borrow a 2" from someone or die grind out the extra sliver...Thanks.
@dirtydeeds
I don't necessarily need a tracking number, but are you able to tell me if the shipper is suggesting that my shipment might arrive prior to the weekend? I don't know if you'll need more than my Username and build date (27 June). If so, I'll PM ya.
Shoot me a text, I'll get you a more updated time frame. You will automatically get tracking when it ships Everytjing is on time for the build so it's a matter of paint, packaging and shipping
I just received my stainless 7" for my 2015 Tundra DC 4x4 with 5.7 and immediately installed it in about 1 hour. I've been driving it around without the Hem(sp) resonator. It's been great. I've been smiling grin to grin every time I give a little bit more gas.
You hit it just right, I'm glad I listened to your advise and got the 7" instead of 6" as I originated wanted.
I haven't taken the wifey out on it yet, but both my kids love the sound. They said it sounds like a truck now like it's supposed to.
BAMuffler has got to be THE accessory in terms of most bang for your buck.
Very Happy with the result.
I've already encounter a funny truck scenario while driving.
At the traffic light pulling into a shopping center on a double left turn lane. I stopped first and a Ford F350 Diesel pulled beside me. I can hear his diesel engine pretty loud clacking away and the normal diesel exhaust low rumble sound.
As the light turned green, we both go, and I wasn't racing, but gave a little more gas and I guess the F350 driver heard my exhaust and had something to proof. He gassed it hard and I hear his engine increasing in sound and then I heard his exhaust which became really loud and he is pulling away from me.
I gave my truck a little more push on the gas and that's when the F350 must have floored it cuz that F350 was making a lot of noise as his exhaust was drowning out mine and at the same time, black smoke bellowing out of his pipes.
I let him pull away, got nothing to proof at this point, I wasn't even racing, just enjoying my exhaust but I guess he was trying to proof he was still bigger and badder and faster than my truck.
I was just driving my own pace minding my own business enjoying the ride with my daughters.
Keith, you need to be careful though, I think the liberal tree huggers will put you on their top 10 most offender for gas guzzling cuz all the Tundra's with your exhaust system will be driving them harder to hear the sound of your exhaust at the cost of decrease gas mileage.
For those on the fence, Do It! take advantage of the July 4th special on flat rate shipping.

If you have ANY 1.5K to 2.5K RPM highway drone, your Helmholtz resonator will knock it down...
I love my 7 inch system..
The perfect balance of being too quiet and being a tad loud...
I want to hear the damn thing for God's sake...>
