So I know exhaust questions have been asked ad nauseam, but I'm here to post yet another muffler question. I've seen a few members here with the Carven R series muffler, but don't know if anyone has the TR series? I plan on getting one welded in at Jr's in Fort Worth (the preferred installer on Carven's site) but wanted to see if anyone had one and their thoughts on the muffler. I'm sticking with a single TR SI/DO (with the Carven Y-pipe) because I eventually want to get some headers and a catted Y-pipe and want everything to bolt up in the stock location (so I can DYI). ANYWAY to the question part of this, I have a 2 year old son who rides with me frequently, and I don't want anything too bad for him, I'm okay with borderline obnoxious but the wife and kid may not be. To put it in perspective I had a 2012 QC before my son was born, with a welded in 18" Magnaflow (12278) the wife was a-ok, even on a long trip to Louisiana from OKC, and several back and forths from OKC to Dallas. So I know she can tolerate that, and YouTube videos on the TR are lacking so I can't fully compare.
Oh I'll be keeping the stock resonators, and if Carven ever comes back with the blacked out tips I'll pick them up to install.
So there it is, one more exhaust thread
P.S. looks like the RA-X bolt-in system is available on the Carven site 369.99 Shipped to TX little expensive but hey you can do it in your driveway and it's all SS.
Edit: Well I'm going to Jr's Muffler Shop in Fort Worth to get a TR welded in on Monday, so I'll have some videos then, hopefully it'll be the right noise level!
