Sounds alot better then the centre renoved, not as loud and tractor like, and isnt hardly drony at all in the cab! So for anyone I would deff not reccoment removing centre muffler on a fg id assume the others would be the same, but each to their own I guess Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85818-not-overly-happy-with-centre-muffler-removal/#findComment-1412252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
