[@garysaunders8691]

I heard the Mopar cat back and loved it. With some investigation, and after a chat with Borla, I learned that Borla makes the cat back for Mopar, and it is essentially the S-type. However, Borla’s is cheaper, and it INCLUDES the nicer tips, which Mopar doesn’t. Perfect! I have now ordered the S type for my 2019 Laramie, based on reviews, Borla’s vid, and your video, which was extremely well done. Thank you for all the extra effort and time you put into both the install and the sound video. Very helpful. My (future) Borla hat is off to you!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I'm glad you found the video useful, I'm sure you'll love the truck even more once you get the exhaust on.

[@cueball981]

When I can afford to upgrade, this will be the one. Not crazy but definitely more aggressive than stock. Nice!

[@anthonybessel1086]

Fellow MN RAM owner here. Considering Borla for my '19 and was having a hard time deciding between S-Type and Touring. Nice to hear the exhaust respond to all the different driving. Thanks!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. Did you pull the trigger on exhaust yet?

[@triton302]

Damn that sounds nice, might be perfect for my '20 Rebel.

[@louielesner4518]

Your video clinched it for me. I've had Borlas on previous vehicles. I Got the Borla S-Type and, added the AFE Magnum FORCE Stage 2 Cold Air Intake with Pro DRY S Filter. My 2020 Ram sounds great! That deep tone/growl is tough to beat.

[@jrvane11]

Got my Borla S-Type being delivered in 2-days. Can't wait to install it. Stock exhaust with a Hemi sounds like a sewing machine. Wife loves it, I hate it! LOL!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

The stock is nice for long trips or being stealthy but the Hemi sounds too good to not have exhaust haha

[@fmrscout33]

I'm installing this on Friday. I can't wait! The factory exhaust is an embarrassment to Hemi V8s.

Funny enough, the stock exhaust still beats the competitions stock exhaust lol

Nabil P s -type Love it,,, not so loud that it annoying but plenty of noise when I wish Very very little drone

[@robertw2934]

Really appreciate this video. I just ordered the Borla S-type for my 2018 Ram Power Wagon 6.4L. Not many videos with this exhaust and that engine. Your video has given me a good idea of what mine may sound like. Thanks for the detail!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad to help! Hope yours turns out nice I would expect similar sound maybe SLIGHTLY deeper or louder just due to the larger engine size.

[@louielesner4518]

Good job, Tony. I got Borlas on my last 2 Mustangs. I think I'm sticking with Borla for my '20 Ram.

[@michaelolson5290]

Great video!! Your explanations and different scenarios were perfect. The best full detailed exhaust video. You absolutely just sold me on the S-type. I was considering the touring, s-type, or the atak for my 2019 Ram Limited. Thanks!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Thanks! A lot of people will complain that the video is too long, but when you’re spending $1k+ on exhaust, it’s better to be thorough and be sure of what you want. If you find the s-type a bit too aggressive, you can always add the resonator option.

[@michaelolson5290]

Tony The Truck Guy I couldn’t agree more. You literally walked through every google question I tried to type in and get answers to. I like the option of the add on piece but not sure I’ll need it. The limited has a built in noise canceling system. Plus your explanation of drone or lack thereof is perfect. Did you do the install?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah I believe mine has noise cancelling as well. I did install mine. Only real pain was having to cut old exhaust to get it out, but if you let the axle drop more by disconnecting shocks and sway bar, you can probably avoid that. Video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3_dXn-baNalaJI

[@ShineBright__]

Man ! Very useful review about the 2 muffler that I wasn't too sure which one i was gonna go for it basically you're saying that the S Type gets loud if you want to otherwise you can cruising along and having a conversation without screaming ...

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah pretty much. Only exception is cold starts are pretty loud and sometimes if you’re trying to sneak into your neighborhood without waking everyone up it’s a bit hard to keep “quiet” under 20 mph because the transmission likes to hold 2nd gear and not up shift very soon so it revs a bit high at that speed

[@moedollars7050]

Excellent video. I decided to upgrade my 2014 ram 1500 reg cab express stock exhauat to these and i am super excitied to get them installed next week. Wanted a balance of sound and performance without being super loud. Tourning sounded to close to stock and atak wad to loud for my taste. Hope i made the right choice. Thx again great vid.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Thanks! So far, I’ve only had 1 person tell me that they with they went with the touring because the s-type was too loud. But in my opinion, it’s only loud at cold start and if you’re 3/4 or more throttle. Cruising or mild acceleration is fine and I don’t even hear the exhaust over my radio going down the road. You can always add the resonator option if you find it to be a bit too aggressive or see if they can swap the s-type muffler with a touring muffler.

[@moedollars7050]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks. Thats good to know. I think after hearing your video it should be fine in side the cabin and espeically if the radio is on. I fig if im paying all this $ i want to alteast hear some diff from the stock or else whats the point right. I am also adding a 2in level to the front and upgrading to 5100 blisten shocks.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

That were my thoughts as well. Good luck!

[@bossstrick]

Get the borla s type, it’s a truck not a hellcat . Trucks need that deeper tone to me but to all their own I guess

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Exactly, and if I towed regularly, I’d honestly go with the touring. The Attak is too much IMHO.

Was on auto play and heard parkway drive so I had to drop a like 🤘

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Haha hell yeah, appreciate it!

[@rockninkjunkie1]

I may have overlooked it, as I'm watching these videos at work, but did your kit have the front resonator deleted and also are those the 4" tips or the 15x5" tips?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@rockninkjunkie1 They only had the 1 size when I got mine, but I'm fairly certain it was 5" since that's what all the links are coming up as that I have in the video description. Stock resonator was retained and this kit bolted up to the back of the factory resonator.

I was unsure what to get (S-Type or Atak). What you said about it giving the bark, but not being quite as loud as the Atak sold me on the S-Type. Thank you!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You’re welcome! I think I’ve only had 1 person on here tell me that the s-type was still too loud for them. I find it to be the perfect balance. Now having the S-type, I definitely wouldn’t go with Atak, but that’s just preference. I’m actually curious what the touring sounds like in person. Good luck!

[@Dr._Swash_Buckler]

awesome job man! I have the Corsa db on my 4th gen bighorn and just picked up a 5th gen Laramie sport two weeks ago so I'm back on youtube trying to figure out what exhaust to put on it. is this system with the res delete or you have the factory res on it while taping? i'm leaving towards the S Type but that all depends on if you have a res or not!!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Thanks! Factory resonator still in place before the cat back system. Their video made it sounds like their resonator would quiet it down, but I don't see it being quieter than the stock resonator, so idk what they are talking about haha.

I'm not in my 20s anymore so this will do. . i just don't want to spend that money if I'm in the same situation with the Corsa where i'm always wishing i could hear it a "little more"!!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@pashabelat2849 I think the S type is perfect balance. I definitely wouldn’t want it louder for a daily. I’d probably pick the touring is I was constantly towing but I’d only tow here and there. I assume you’re talking about the Boost Auto steps? No first hand experience with them but they are a decent company. I’m actually making a video for them right now on 03-07 Chevy tow mirrors lol. I’ve always just done bolt on side steps of anything because with the snow we get, the power ones always act up.

[@ok88warrior]

Sounds so sick with the borlas.

[@villajuan81]

Thanks for your review. I was pretty sure I wanted the Atak, but I think the S type would suit me much better overall. The ATAK might be just a bit too obnoxious.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Those were my exact feelings. I have a few buddies that are....younger than myself, and they like the louder, rowdier Atak. Well, I opted for the S-type anyways. Just the other day, I ran into one of my buddies going down the road and I stomped it from the light when we took off. He texted me and said “ok, it’s loud enough” 😂

[@villajuan81]

Tony The Truck Guy haha perfect! And from what I’ve read from either you or another reviewer, I don’t want the neighbors to completely hate me at 5am. Lol

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Exactly haha. Even with the S-type, the cold starts are pretty aggressive. But it idles down after a minute

[@chuckdiego719]

Great job on the video. I just got my S type. To loud for me. I’m older and should have got the touring style.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Order the resonator option that they offer, should lower the sound a few decibels and bring it close to the touring sound level.

[@bigvol1596]

Tony, would you happen to have the part number for the resonator?

[@projectvaderss7467]

Super sound Does it from in 4 cyl mode I deleted my muffler and straight pipe Now loud in cabin drone in 4 cyl mode

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah, I cut the muffler out and did a glasspack on my '12 Ram and had the same issue as you, so I knew I needed some sort of muffler to keep the drone slightly at bay if I wasn't going to disable 4 cyl.

[@22alexrodriguez]

So is this one of those 'neighborly' exhaust kits?? Hard to tell just how loud it gets exterior wise

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

To me, It's perfect. The start up is pretty barky when it's cold out. I've never had a moment where I said to myself "damn, I wish it was louder", but that's just me.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy im in the same boat- i have a borla pro xs chopped and replaced instead of the stock muffler along with rear resonator deltes- its too loud and annoying inside the cab driving uphill and downhill- decently drony- how would you compare yours and what are your thoughts? thanks man

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Well the kit I got is a cat back and deletes the rear resonators but I feel the muffler still does a decent job. I don’t find mine annoying but I’m also not constantly driving up huge hills or towing very heavy. I also typically have my radio on so I don’t hear much of anything. But even with everything off I like how mine sounds, not too loud for me.

Great video man, thanks for the info! Question: I have a 5.7 hemi Durango RT with an X-pipe in place of the suit case resonator and a pair of Super 10's Flowmasters in the back. I have crazy drone at any speed, but worse on the high when I'm cruising at over 80+. Do these mufflers create any drone? I know you might have a Ram so is it possible the sound resonance might be different compared to an SUV and that's why I have drone?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. SUV's and wagons typically have more drone by design. That being said, super 10's are so tiny I would hardly even call them a muffler haha. You would need to add some resonators or replace the super 10's with chambered mufflers to help reduce drone.

[@patriotram9204]

Definitely have a little drone....not much. I don’t drive 50 anything except in city. What’s the mpg with exhaust?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. Yeah the only real drone is in 4 cyl to me. I don't ever have the exact same driving route week by week, so it's hard to say on the MPG. I would say it's very close to stock.

[@gregz4249]

Did you notice any change in throttle response once you got both exhaust and cold air intake installed

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Nothing noticeable but I did those mods mainly for sound. I got a Sprint Booster which is like a pedal commander but better in my opinion for throttle response. I have 1 or 2 videos on the Sprint Booster also if you’re interested.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Not really any discoloring, just the coating has seen better days after being caked with mud and salt. Also, the coating seems to be peeling a bit on the INSIDE of the tips. You can see it better in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJivgHWErtN2hpo

[@valsid77]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy so u think it's just a bad coating job from Borla? U think they will honor any type of warranty on that situation?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah I think the coating had a hard time adhering to the stainless. But there’s so many variables too. Like I’m not sure if I got a bad batch, or if I got a good batch but where I live the weather is so extreme. Down to -30° in the winter and 100+ in the summer. Lots of road salt in the winter and plenty of mud in the spring through fall. BUT, like I mentioned in that other video. The coating was already peeling on the INSIDE of the tip when I got them in the box. That being said, I have not contacted Borla yet regarding any type of warranty since they still aren’t awful. A lot of coatings don’t have warranty, but it wouldn’t hurt to contact them and ask before choosing and ordering.

[@valsid77]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I live in Wisconsin so i know all about cold winters and lots of road salt and all the rain and mud in spring. So video made me decide on the stainless look, but havent decided which one the touring or the S-type? I drive 70 miles daily in freeway to go to work and dont want lots of rumble after a long day at work. thanks again.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Check out the 7:38 mark of the video. I'm cruising at 70 and you can barely hear the exhaust over the road noise with my radio off. I always have my radio at 10 or higher, so I only hear the exhaust when I'm getting on it. Basically, start-up and accelerating are the only time that it's loud. I know they are different trucks, but my buddy had a 2011 F-150 5.0 with the touring and he wished he got the s-type. He said it was nice for towing since it's quieter and there was no drone, but unless you're going to be towing all the time, I just don't feel like the touring is a big enough difference from stock for the money you're spending. You could always add the Borla resonator option to the s-type if you decide it's a tad too aggressive. The touring is what it is and you're stuck with it.

[@Granite_Crystal_300S_V8]

thanks for the video, i'm looking to install the borla s-type onto my 300s with the 5.7 hemi, i'm guess it would be little more toned down compared to your truck. thanks for the in-depth overview

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah it’s hard to say. Same engine and all but all of their “s-types” are a bit different. I’m kind of surprised I’m only finding 1 video on here of a 300 with s-type and he didn’t rev it or anything so it’s hard to tell how it compares to mine

Like I was saying in the video, the ATAK is just more noise than I want to make. I have never had a situation where I wished my s-type was louder. I also lived in a trailer park at the time and wanted to be somewhat considerate of the neighbors. I feel like the s-type has more tone. The ATAK reminds me of a straight piped true dual chevy with a 350 in it that some kid mashes the gas pedal and makes everyone go deaf but he's only going 20 mph haha. To each their own though.

I’d still say the only drone you really get is when the truck is in 4 cyl mode and even then I’ve heard much worse. You could always disable 4 cyl if it bothers you too much. On all 8, you can hear the exhaust, but I wouldn’t call it drone. Still very happy with this setup. Only issues so far is I need to do something to re-center the tips as they aren’t centered in the bumper holes now for some reason and the black coating on the tips doesn’t hold up the greatest to mud and salt but otherwise happy.

[@alkemyx9346]

Hey Tony awesome truck and it sounds great. I just picked up a 2020 ram 1500 and just bought a borla touring cat back and noticed that the passenger side pipe coming from the muffler is rubbing on the passenger side suspension bump stop. Did you happen to notice if yours was rubbing when you installed it? I know that most people say that its really close but mine is actually rubbing on that bump stop.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I’ll check in the morning and let you know!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Well I actually never noticed how close it was until you said something. Mine is roughly 1/4” away from the bump stop bracket. Have you tried adjusting the muffler and such in the hangers by trying to shove it away from the bump stop? If that doesn’t work I suspect the muffler was welded slightly off because I’m not seeing much adjustment anywhere. I think even mine contacts sometimes because there’s a small rust mark on the bump stop bracket. If you can’t get it adjusted, I would contact Borla or wherever you got the exhaust and see if they can send a replacement.

[@tonycapriati149]

Thanks for the Video, you helped me decide on the S Type. Have you done a cold air intake comparison? I am looking at the Corsa with Dry type filter, I like it because its enclosed unlike the KN which is open box, worried about summer heat driving with the open box.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I might be pulling the trigger on an S&B intake soon. I honestly didn’t even think about Corsa. Just looked them both up and Corsa claims about 26% air flow increase over stock and the S&B claims 50% just for comparison. But now looking at my catch can that I just put on, it doesn’t look like the S&B will fit with the catch can haha

I think you’ll like it. Wish I could go with the S&B but like I said it won’t fit with my catch can. The Corsa still flows like 25% over stock which should still be plenty since I don’t have a bigger intake manifold or throttle body or anything.

Excellent video and the sound is amazing played through Bose headphones. My question is, at idle, is there a raspy sound from the exhaust?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

It barks when you cold start it initially but then once it’s actually idling it’s just a nice burble. I would not say there is any raspiness at idle at all.

[@shauste]

Tony The Truck Guy, great! I’ve put 2 different mufflers on my 5th Gen and I don’t like the raspy sound. Love the bark!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

What kind of mufflers? Flowmaster?

[@shauste]

Tony, yes flows. One muffler shop told me that’s just sound. I don’t believe that. I’m pulling the trigger on the S-Type. I had then on a Challenger once and loved them.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

A lot of people love Flowmaster but I can't say I've ever been a fan. Too raspy and airy sounding IMO. I prefer Magnaflow, etc. I think you'll be happy with the s-type.

[@HI6HROLLA]

I've got a limited trim and considering a Touring exhaust. I like a nice good sound when I get on it but like it to be quite when I'm just cruising. What would you recommend?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. Honestly I was torn the same way between the touring and s-type. I'm glad I ended up going with the s-type though, I've never really found it to be obnoxious. I would recommend getting the s-type, then add their resonator option down the road if you find it a bit too harsh. Beats blowing over $1000 on the touring and finding out that it's too quiet.

[@morellilogistics6552]

Great video. When it comes to tips is there a big difference in stock vs 4 or 5 inch?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I’d say these bigger tips definitely megaphone the sound a bit more. Any exhaust I hear with the factory tailpipes even if it’s an aggressive muffler still sounds quieter than this.

[@morellilogistics6552]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy Cool, I was looking for an aggressive throttle sound, but smooth on the highway and a low growl when idling. Seems like the S-type has all of that from listening to your video. Gonna try to order through your link. Thanks!

Did you feel any horse power gains? Or it’s just for sound? I ask because I heard tons of dudes saying that with the exhaust you will gain more power..

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Certain systems on certain vehicles you can gain some good power. It wouldn’t surprise me if you picked up 5-10hp with this setup, but nothing you’d really feel in the seat of your pants. I did it Mai my for sound and looks. If you did a cat back system WITH long tubes and a tune, now you’re talking a little more power. Probably about 50.

[@ryanyako7585]

Hey tony just got a 2020 ram 1500 and am definitely leaning toward putting the s type cat back on there. Have you had any issue with the truck running different or check engine lights?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Zero issues with any of that! My only warning is that with the black tips, they don’t hold up the greatest if you go through a bunch of mud or get road salt in the winter. Mine are still ok but not as nice as when they were new.

[@pleasantword]

Sound is fantastic.Is this louder then the Pro XS?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I agree! I can’t say for sure since I haven’t heard the Pro XS in person, but based on some videos, I’d say the cat back is louder. Likely because of the bigger tail pipes and tips.

[@joshhuggins4614]

Are those the Mopar vent visors? How well are they working with the auto-up?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. Yes they are. I haven't had any major issues yet. Once in a while if I left the window down all day, the auto-up might kick the window back down but that's the only time it happens.

[@tristansooklal1369]

When the MDS kicks in, how bad does it get? Like, is it annoying or is it minor?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

That’s a very difficult question so answer since everyone has a different definition of annoying haha. There’s a few points in the video where you can hear it pretty good so you’ll have to kind of decide for yourself. I’m a fairly OCD person and it’s liveable. I also typically have my radio on a bit so it drowns it out some. If it really bothers you, you could disable MDS. You’d be pretty hard pressed to find another system that gives you this noise volume with any less MDS drone honestly. I can even hear it with the stock exhaust.

[@sveditor6214]

Hi when cruising, at 1k to 2k rpm, do you hear a helicopter sound inside the cab???

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. The sound is there, but it's bearable. Definitely better than if the truck had straight pipe or a glasspack or some small, non-chambered muffler. You could always disable the 4-cyl mode though.

[@AoSRejects]

How does te S-Type compare to the ATAK as far as drone and overall sound? I have been looking at both, but not sure which to get.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Honestly I’ve never had the opportunity to hear the atak in person, so I can’t say. I will say this though - I wouldn’t have wanted mine any louder. It was the perfect balance to me with the s-type. Definitely loud and there when you get on it, but not annoying on long trips or while towing. You can definitely still hear it in the cab, but it’s not obnoxious. I’m not going to say the s type is necessarily “neighbor friendly” on the cold starts either if that’s a factor, but definitely I rely quieter than the atak. It’s really a preference game. I’m the kind of guy that likes a little extra volume with a lot of extra tone. To me, the atak is less tone and more volume which just isn’t my thing.

[@AoSRejects]

From the videos I have seen of both systems. I can agree with you on the sound. The atak has more volume but it doesnt growl or rumble like the s-type does. The s-type is the one I am leaning more towards. Thanks for the reply!

So you talked about towing with the s type. That's my biggest concern with towing our 32ft bunkhouse around 7200 lbs loaded with our 2020 rebel is I don't want loud or drone towing. So you are confirming that there is no drone towing? How about interior loudness with the exhaust reflecting off the trailer?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

No droning that I experienced when towing a 28’ camper. You I’ll hear the exhaust of course, but as long as you’re not towing in a very hilly area causing a lot of downshifting, it’s not bad. Of course this is all opinion and you won’t truly know until you have the exhaust and tow something. But I didn’t have any droning issues, just general engine and exhaust noise.

[@mtxgalant96]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks you for reply and good vid. I usually just listen to the straight exhaust only vids but figured I'd hear you out. I'm looking for exhaust closest to what the stock 392 Chargers have. Loved how the exhaust sounded on it when I had one a couple years ago. Want louder outside but quiet and no drone inside haha. Wishful thinking I know haha.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@mtxgalant96 Haha, yeah with the active exhaust, the 392 has a wide range. This is about as close as you’re going to get on the Ram I think. Mine is very quiet once up to speed and cruising but louder when you get on it. If you do a LOT of towing, you may prefer the touring, but then it may not be lout enough for you while not towing.

It's hard to say if there's any actual power gains, or if it's just mental horsepower increase due to being louder. Either way I still love it. The truck is currently a lease, so as far as actual engine stuff, the exhaust and intake are about all I will be doing for now. I do have some sort of pedal commander in the works though.

Yeah is all a personal preference. I’m not sure how different the exhaust systems are between 4th gen and 5th gen but Mine is definitely louder than stock lol. I avoided the atak because I didn’t want to go insane while towing long distances

[@TheRaetz]

Does your buddy have a video with the touring

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. I think it's about the same as day 1 to be honest, but it's hard to tell if it changes ever so slightly by the day. I don't believe there's any packing in the muffler, so the sound shouldn't change much.

[@JoshKoziol]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I appreciate it, I was wondering what happened to the comment lol. I've been watching this video repetitively trying to decide if it's what I want and this is the most comprehensive video I've found. My only concern is in the cab noise, all the videos I've watched have the radio off so of course it'll be on the loud side. If it's not bad with the radio off in your opinion then I'm sold. I just see comments on forums about how they didn't expect to be that loud, but I had a louder 2012 so I may not feel the same.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah I had a 2012 as well with a glass pack where the muffler was and it definitely had more in-cab noise especially in 4 cyl mode like a helicopter landing on the roof. You can still hear the 4 cyl mode on this truck with the Borla, and it is louder than stock of course, but it’s better than the 2012 for sure and you can disable the 4 cyl mode a few different ways if you really wanted to. I don’t even hear my exhaust when I’m cruising down the highway, especially if the radio is on. I only hear it during downshifts or when I’m on it. If it’s a little harsh for you, you could always add the resonator option that they have which should bring it a bit closer to the sound level of their touring series. Around the 8:20 mark where I’m doing 80 mph is the loudest it gets in the cab while cruising and it’s even quieter at 70 or less. They did a pretty good job of insulating the cabs on these new trucks. Best part is that aside from 4 cyl mode, there’s virtually no drone.

[@JoshKoziol]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy From the sounds of it, the Touring isn't much quieter lol. Thanks for the response and the video!

Really? I know they are different engines, but my buddy had the touring on his 2011 5.0 F150 and it was quieter than he was looking for. Like to the point I wouldn’t spend $1200 on the exhaust for such a little change from stock haha.

No, “cold start” is when you start a vehicle for the first time of the day. Yes, obviously it’s a more aggressive start when it’s -30° out, but it’s kind of hard to achieve that in the middle of summer. Also if you’re referring to a block heater as the “heater”, I’ve literally never used mine.

[@jajjjamensan]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy thats why its only possible to do a coldstart in the winter, atleast by the european meaning of coldstart. When its harmful for the engine, if you use heater its not a coldstart. At what temp do you concider it not to be a coldstart or is it always a coldstart when its the 1st time of the day?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Well yeah like I said the colder it is the better of a “cold start” it will be. But if a guy lives in Texas and it only gets down to 50° in the winter, that’s as cold of a start as they get lol. Even at say 80°, it will start differently than if you ran it up to temp, then shut it down and start it right up again. When I said “cold start” in this video, I meant it was the first start of the day, so it’s most aggressive.
