Added a nice deep tone to my 6 cylinder. Ford Explorer Sport Trac truck. Not too loud but you know it's there, especially on cold mornings. Quiet on the highway. This added a little pep (hp) to the engine. Not much, maybe 1-2 hp (who knows), but I can feel it. I added this muffler at the same time as the low-limit OEM air cleaner, so it's probably a combination of both. Gasoline mileage is slightly better by about 1mpg. I sanded it lightly and painted it with 1200 degree high temperature paint to extend its life before installing. Excellent purchase.
