That seems like a lot of heat build up and therefore back pressure. Did you notice a performance difference when you had them installed? Truck looks great, and always so clean. I really like the effort you put into drivability even if it requires big squirrel tails to be mounted on the A pillars. Good updates.

Edit: Just thought of something. Do you have both rubber strips for your doors? There is the standard inner seal, and then there is another seal that attaches to the door itself. I believe that it was added for high optioned trucks.

The mufflers came out of the box blued. They’re stainless and that’s from the welding. I do have both seals. I bet if this was a true frame off and everything was squared up, it would be a little better. I can’t tell any difference in performance with the mufflers. My butt-o-meter still indicates spunky. The squirrels come off if I’m just running around in town. I wanted it to be super easy on and off. I really appreciate everyone’s continued interest in something that means a lot to me. Cheers.

Copy that, it took a lot of heat to make them blue. Glad to find out that occurred during the manufacturing process.
