Thats neat you are able to notice that. That was exactly my mindset, after finding out how little I received from the troyer tuned XCal2. I just decided to hell with it, can't be that bad of a loss. Yeah, I was wrong. You win some you lose some, I think I'll be putting my maggie back on soon.

My Flowmaster is much different than the 40 series, for one it's much smaller and probably significantly louder (no pun intended). The video is very misguiding, it doesn't sound anything like it does on the video, I'll find a way to record it again.

"Baby I want you to do something for me..."...is what I said right after I read that. Be right back.

Not my cup of tea, but sounds aggressive.

I love the look of the duel rear/side exit exhaust, nice job. I wanted that setup but I would not give up the performance of the Magnaflow to have it.

BTW- Sorry to tell you Josiah, there is no way any one of these trucks is getting 25mpg. Not even going down a mountain with the engine off and a 50mph tailwind!

Are we a little late or what? ;P Only kidding, here is the A/F ratio to RPM graph from my Dyno w/Flowmaster, Intake, Exhaust, XCal2 & E-fans. I would love to see my A/F ratio after I removed my 2 cats in the rear, it's supposedly running a little rich right now.

I was getting 23.x mpg at 60 mph on the Freeway w/cruise, sorry to tell you :P I thought your analogy was pretty funny though

I am getting 19mpg at best after my lift though I wasn't aware of how bad aerodynamics play a role in mileage at those speeds.
