Thanks. My version of quiet in this case is “as quiet as possible for the $”. Ideally something that approaches stock v8 truck quiet at idle and cruise and only gets rowdy with increasing pedal travel. The truck already suffers from extreme wind noise at cruising speeds above 50mph so the last thing I need is a droaning exhaust when all I have is the factory single-speaker am/fm radio to drown it out. I’m not really looking for “performance” gains since the truck is rarely driven and is only used for truck purposes, but I want to keep it nice and everything I replace is with high quality parts whenever possible. If I can gain any fuel economy that would be ideal tho, haha. With the 400, rv cam, small stock wheels/tires, and low gearing I already have more torque then I’d ever want.

Next on the truck agenda is to change the gearing for more ideal highway travel. I need to temp install a tach so I can see what the engine is spinning at. I’ll likely be changing the gearing and getting slightly bigger tires early next year to fix this. I need to install a heavy duty hitch and possibly re-do the body wiring harness which is going to suck. I want to be able to tow my vr4 with the truck next year. The interior needs some TLC, yada yada yada. If I put a 1/4 the effort in the truck to fix it up as I do in my vr4 it would be cherry. Its fun learning about this old stuff though.
