New add on's to my 2021 PW.

Line-x bed spray from Line x of Austin (in Cedar Park) If you are in the area, they did a fantastic job! Could not believe how uniform the spray was around tight spots like the tie town loops. Also installed an AMP bumper step. Very sturdy product, easy to install, and makes getting into the bed much easier. Magaflow cat back exhaust. Not to loud at all, but a deeper healthy rumble. Saw lots of reports that people were seeing 1-1.5 mpg increase with it. Only on my 2nd tank, but so far mpg fully supports that. It fit perfect and was very easy to install. Getting the old one out was much more time consuming than installing they new one. And last, new tags. I have had the ink for about 18 years, figured it was time to add the tag.
On a side not, yes my truck squeals like a 70's car that needs a new fan belt at cold start up. Dealer acted like they never heard of it! Had them start up a new 75th anniversary model they had in stock and it did the same thing. The service manager at least admitted to knowing about it and said there is work going on to correct it. He also said the TRX's do it even worse! I have only seen one, and did not hear it start, so who knows. I have been under mine at cold start many times, the best I can tell, the sound is closest to the finned transmission pan. It is still just as bad after changing the exhaust, but it goes away much sooner now, maybe two minutes instead of 4-5 minutes. I just joined, so if any of this is in the wrong spot please except my apologies. Chuck

the squeal is well known and apparently they are not working on it as they say it is not a design flaw and that is normal....

I don't doubt that they are not working on it, but "normal" is quite a stretch considering no other model from any manufacturer does it! (not arguing with you!, just annoying that they look at it that way on a vehicle of that cost!}

to me it seems like it is where the exhaust meets the manifold. I am used to it so it does not bother me any more but it did at first.

Nice rig! Like the custom plate!!

I think the sound comes from the 2 into 1 pipe after the cats. Or at least that's what it sounds like on my truck.

Mine makes the noise as well. It bothered me at first but appears to be the nature of the beast. My buddy's SRT Cherokee 6.4L does it too.

If you don't mind, what what the Magnaflow cat back part number you installed?

19200. It is in three peices, factory was two, making it hard to get out without a lift or removing the right rear tire. (I already had 35's on it before the exhaust, and where the factory exhaust was binding up only needed another 1/2 inch or so to not be a problem}. The Magnaflow went in effortlessly. All the hangers lined up perfect, and the pieces fit into each other very easy.

Added a few more goodies. PUTCO MOLLE panel and fabricated a mount for hi lift jack. Everything secure and no loss of bed space.
