Good question Jim, I don't remember seeing a follow up post after seeing the pictures. Was that Damian's rig??
Logically in a residential area I think it would appear to be quieter by exhausting over our heads compared to dumping it under the truck. In a real congested area it still going to echo..

The Noise on theses units come from the blower them selves, not the exhaust.

so then what would be the best way to shut it up
mine seems like it is generating the most noise from around the silencer area.......

See the 1/4 steel elbow pipe joining the Blower to the Silencer?
Figure out how to encase that in a sound deadening material with out it causing it to corrode from trapped moisture and you're half there.
Until then get some of these..

A 30 dB reduction is pretty significant.
Hope they come with a homing beacon, don't want to lose $65 ear plugs.
Are they comfy?
How about conversational tones, can you hear your tech screaming at you to turn off the truck cause there is a cat stuck in the 2.5" hose?

They work too good.
After a few hours you want to take them out to get back to reality.

Walt Bush had a stack put on his, about $500 if I remember right. He said it did a great job.
Haven't seen Walt around lately??
