Cold starts may be a problem for his neighbors etc.. loud cars can get annoying if your neighbor has one and starts it up at 6 am every day

Not all test drives illustrate all the conditions you experience when you live with a car. Where I live, it's virtually impossible to cruise at 80mph anywhere within 20 miles of a dealer, but most of my cars spend a fair bit of time cruising at 80mph in my regular use. If an exhaust had a massive drone or resonance at that speed, I probably wouldn't know until after I owned it long enough to take a trip. It's not particularly useful to assume that someone is an idiot because their experience differs from yours. Or maybe he really liked the exhaust for a test drive, but found it tiring after a few hours at a stretch. Who cares why? The OP is being petty by wasting a useful exhaust and wasting space in his garage just to spite the guy who eventually bought his truck. Sounds more like seller's remorse than buyer's remorse from where I sit. But hey, that's just my read. Lots of guys retrospectively justifying their preferences in this thread, seems like some insecurity issues on display.There are such things as test drives, and maybe that dude should've gone on one before he bought your Raptor. Some people just can't resist letting their stupid show.
I hear ya and agree. I just "tamed" down my exhaust 2 weeks ago, loving it! No more violent cold start-ups and drone was minimized a lot. To the non-automotive types it's still loud.When I was in my 20s, all my cars had modified exhausts. Now in my early 40s, maybe I've become a bitch, too, but I only want loud when I want loud.
Why is that his responsibility. He sold it. He should not have to deal with anything after the fact. If the dealership needed the factory exhaust they should have asked for it prior to take it on trade, which you never get back what the vehicle is worth on trade ins. Screw them. They can go buy a new muffler. His transaction is done, itās the dealerships responsibility now.Sorry but not everyone like loud exhaust. It also depend on the vehicle and vehicle usage
Some people ( Harley riders usually) believe that loud pipes save life, I donāt, I just find them obnoxious.
I donāt get it, you sold your truck, why are you trying to impose your own taste on the new owner?
Just give them the fricking muffler....
^^BINGO!!!Yeah fuck that guy, and fuck that dealership. If I had it, I would charge them retail to buy it off me.
