Just ordered the carven Progressive exhaust. Hopefully I'm not disappointed. I want something LOUD when I get on it but quiet when driving around with no drone.

A friend of ours has a suburban with a magnaflow muffler and he likes to show off how loud it is. I would like to shut him up with mine haha.

Is the competitor too loud?

You will get a loud exhaust with the progressive, I just hope it doesn't drone like it did in my Crew Cab. Took it off because of the drone.

I have had the Carven Progressive Series installed since April and love it. Very nice cold start, nice rumble when driving, but LOUD when I get on it.

Here is my install and sound clips.

I actually used your sound clip to help me make my decision haha. Your truck sounds good. I really like the tips you added. Makes the exhaust sound deeper and throatier.

Hey, thanks! I'm glad my video was able to help you. That was the point of making it to help folks decide on exhaust!

Have the progressive on my truck. Love it. There is some drone though, but nothing over the top.

Will be putting it on shortly.

How long is the install?

Well I was almost done installing. I went to install the rear pipes onto the end of the carven exhaust, one coupler fit, other is way too big.

They sent me two different coupler sizes for the rear pipes to attach. Truck is torn apart in driveway and I'm going out of town the next 2 days. Hoping the parts store has one that will work.

I will have to contact them and see if they will send me the correct coupler size.

Used an auto parts store clamp until I can have them ship me the correct clamp.

Just did a quick remote start and it sounds awesome! Haven't taken it out for a test run yet.

I think I will be quite pleased with it. I wonder how the Competitor would have sounded :crazy:

Was going to buy the Competitor series but my city just passed a modified muffler law. Not like the cops will care it will basically be like tinted windows where its a technically a law but everyone has tinted windows and nobody cares.

But to be just a bit less tempting to pull me over I'm going Progressive now.

Is any cutting or welding needed to install this exhaust?

I had the carven progressive series, carven 5" tips and no resonators. Best sounding truck I've ever heard and not being bias. It was pretty epic
