Black widow?

[derek_05_07]

Anyone throw on a black widow muffler yet? I was looking at the angry wife and was wondering if anyone put one of their mufflers on their new truck yet 

 

Thanks!

I've only ever ran Flowmaster prior to getting a Black Widow, so minimal experience. 

 

That being said, I have a Black Widow Venom 250 and absolutely love it.   Basically 0 drone on the highway.   Strongly recommend it.   I also like the sound - it has a more clear tone than the flowmaster.

 

Sound is objective to each person obviously. 

 

I personally am not a fan of these super loud mufflers but being a Black Widow product i would say Yes go for it. 

 

I have interior/exterior videos on my YouTube Channel, SierraNick62

Did you keep the flapper on when you stuck the new muffler on or did you take it out with the old one?

The flapper was removed and I also had the resonator removed.   Yes it does drone in V4, at certain speeds it is worse than other speeds.   I just kind of live with it or drive in M7 if not on the highway.  If I'm on the highway going 75 and it happens to go into V4, it's hardly noticeable.

I had a race venom in my 18, I bought another for my 2020 . Getting installed monday , deleting the flapper and resonators .

 

on my 18 it sounded fierce. Every time I went somewhere people asked me what I had in her. 

 

I will let you know Monday how she sounds through the duals

Also just a note the angry Housewife is just a shorter race venom , apparently its not quite as loud as the regular race venom , but a little less raspy. (I like the rasp in the race venom) Stock right now is pretty crappy but looking underneath the truck I recommend an offset-offset or an offset center. 3”.

 

delete flapper 100%.

Just a note , I installed the muffler today , deleted the flapper. 

 

I opted to try it with the resonator screens left on, factory dual setup for research purposes lol.

 

The resonators really really really quiet the good tone. I will post a couple videos.

Sounds good. Any on the gas or in the cabin clips? I’m in the market for a muffler. Just stumbled on this. Only makes things worse. I’ve gone from delete/borla atak/borla pro xs. Now I have to add this to the list. Is there any drone? Thanks

There is no drone at all with resonators in place. I went ahead and covered the first two on each side . So 4 of 6 . Leaving only the rear 2 (1 on each side) open.

 

With this setup you can just barely hear it in the cab if you let off the gas and re engage the pedal at a cruising speed of 60km. I wouldnt call it drone though, the tire noise of the duratracs is louder.

 

I will get some clips , im going to cut the pipe section out with all 3 resonators and replace it with a piece of 3” stainless. So far its not as loud as my 18.

 

Btw I used this to cover the resonators.

Sounds nasty(in a good way). I’m assuming it’s pretty loud more towards delete loud?

Its actually not very loud lol. The cold starts are always loud. I liked it better with resonators covered so I dropped it off at the exhaust shop this morning, to do a proper delete of all the resonator screens.

 

I only drove it a bit when I picked it up at Lunch but im happy with it now. Puts a smile on your face . Its mean sounding.

That sounds amazing.  

[derek_05_07]

Damn, that doesn’t sound bad at all, I like the little increase in sound, again probably sounds way better in person. 
cant hear to hear come sound clips of it 0-60 or what not with all the resonators gone

 

thanks again though!
