my exhaust sounds awesome for about the first 2 minutes after i start the truck, it has a nice low tone around 2000-2500 rpm. after my truck gets warm my awesome exhaust note dissappears. does anyone know what causes this?

 

It takes a little while for the cat and the muffler to warm up, when those do they queit things down a bit.

 

gotcha, the cats must act as pretty damn good mufflers when they warm up because i currently am not running a muffler. thanks for the input.

 

my truck was always louder on a cold startup and it got loud after i romped on it for a while.

 

yeap when i had my exhaust done, (nothing big just a 12'' glass pack ) the dude said that the ranger cats take ALOT of the deep tones or loudness out of it. kinda sux..

 

Interestingly enough, it's your ears that are different and not the truck. It's well documented biologically that our hearing is more adept in the cold than it is when warmer.

This was an adaptation that came about in our ancestors due to the increased predator activity in winter -- particularly wolves -- when game is more scarce.

The extra sensitivity of the ears allowed us time to pray for our sorry butts before being eaten.

 

^ think he means when the truck gets warmer, not the outside temp....


but thats kinda neat to know

 

Okay, in the interest of full disclosure: I MADE THAT CRAP UP!

Sorry, I should remember I often explain REAL stuff, lol -- I though people would see it for what it was -- bogus science!

 

Alot of us don't understand half the stuff you explain anyhow....it all sounds bogus!

 

Ha ha! Very funny!

haha had me going john... all kinda makes sense ha

 

yeah i hear ya, i wish my truck could always sound like it does before the cats heat up.

 

John, I like your sense of humor. You use it infrequently enough to catch people off guard, including me. Thanks for the laugh.

 

well....just cut the cat off...haha...

 

Oh, that poor cat...or just feed it cat food from Walmart and it might die...

 

haha now dont talk bad about wal mart.... cuz i work there! ha not that i care or anything haha.
