Question Want to hear a Gibson Swept Side on a 5.4?

I also posted this in Exhaust Systems.

I wish I would have had this when I was looking. I got lucky and the Swept Side was exactly what I wanted.

Hear are so pretty big wav files of a Gibson S/S Swept Side on a 2000 EB Expedition with the 5.4. The sound isn't great as I recorded from a camcorder. The one at the tailpipe is picking up a lot of other noise too. Enjoy!!

Gibson Swept Side less than a foot from the tailpipe

You can hear the Airaid a little too. When it was holding steady it was at about 2500 RPM and the highest revs were up to around 4500 RPM. Idle is idle!

FamilyRide,
Thank you for this post. I have been trying to decide what exhaust to get for my truck. After hearing this it has made my decision easy. Your Expy sounds good!

Just want to add something. I can't be 100% certain, but I almost think the sound is a little bit louder than what it was when I first installed it about 1000 miles ago.

I read a post where someone else said their Borla got louder with time and thought that was odd.....maybe not so odd.
