I've noticed that sometimes there is a free-flow rumble, then it sounds like a hissing sound , then back to free flow rumble, and so on. Why is that?

Biterman - that's the VVT doing it's job. Our trucks turbos have the ability to adjust the vanes in order to control the boost they are making. This causes that noise you hear in your exhuast.

Biker Guy - a Cat is a catalytic convertor, it's designed to reduce the pollution coming out of your exhaust pipe.

Dan, you need to get to an area that's cold in the morning and fire it up with the high idle engaged...You'll swear you're at an airfield....

Should there be boost at Idle?? I don't think so.

Just had MBRP 4" cool duals installed yesterday with LB7 downpipe. This is my first performance exhaust. I was surprised at the "whooshing" sound as well, but the guys in the muffler shop were thrilled with how it sounded. I'm getting used to it. I didn't realize the engine was pushing that much air. Sounds pretty good on acceleration to. JJ :)

Close... on a diesel, it's designed to plug up and cause problems and increased EGT's.
