Did the Delete Dynomax have to be notched for the anti rotation pin on the exhaust pipe ?
Thanks.
I believe mine was the Dynomax and I don't remember having to make any modifications. That was a year and a half ago.

I have the Dynomax and I did notch it so it would slide on further.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Had to notch mine, had noticeable soot in that area where the pipes meet signaling an exhaust leak, after the notch, no leak :)

I haven't notched mine since installing. I may remove it. Not really digging the tone/sound, if you will. From the inside, the tone is too high pitched for my taste.

Did you notice a tone in the sound pre and post notch?

ETA: with respect to the Dynomax muffler delete.

Seemed like it had a bit of a vibration type hum prior to notching and sliding it up that extra 3/4", but it's been awhile so I can't recall 100%, but I do believe it was an improvement.

Thank you. Since it's an easy item to address, I'll notch it and then re-evaluate.

Since you have a 5.0 you should be used to a little extra cabin noise :)
But V8 noise is much sweeter :)

Wasn't crazy about the tone at first, but I have grown used to it and will not be going back to stock. Ran topless the first time last weekend, and it was not as intrusive as I expected. I had occasion to follow my Jeep a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised by how it sounded under acceleration and the slight burble coming off the gas. Did not sound ricer IMHO.
And I did notch mine. Mark it, 2 short cuts with a hacksaw and bend the notch out with a pair of needle nose - easy peasy.
