Ba muffler question

Anyone that has installed ba muffler have a leak between the y pipe and the stock end..........also how close the the helmholtz resonator to the bed as far as the angle ?

 

Had a slight leak with the stock gasket, couldn't really hear it but condensation would drip from it and gasket was toast when I installed my 8" system. As far as the resonator there's a video on Keith's site on how to mock it up, just leave enough room so it doesn't contact the bed/spare while driving rough roads etc

 

This should help

I too had a leak. Did you change the gasket? I found replacement gaskets for a pretty good price. Mine does drip condensation but doesn’t leak air. Keith says it’s ok as long as no air.

Replaced with same gasket during install all is good

 

I did use the new gasket Keith sent me ......I just was also wondering how much slant resonator should have

 

Mine is about an inch from the bed. It will make sense once you are under there.

 

Ok.....thanks so I need to lift mine a little higher then

 

If it fits fine and clears your spare you are fine. Don’t move it.

 

My concern is not having enough slant to not let water sit in resonator

 

How does the 6 inch ba muffler sound with resonator installed compared to 8 inch with out resonator?

 

Just a very slight slant is all that is needed.

 

The resonator is just to limit the drone inside the cab. It shouldn’t affect how loud it is outside. If it does it’s negligible.

 

Exactly

 

The difference will be subtle. If you had a chance to compare back to back, you could hear it, but it's subtle. The 8 w/out resonator might have a somewhat deeper tone with normal driving, but obviously more drone at highway speeds.
