Anybody straight pipe an Ecoboost yet??

Just wondering if anyone has straight piped an Ecoboost yet? I'd imagine it would be like a diesel and get the best sound from just straight pipes rather than a cat back kit. I've heard almost every kit made for them and so far I'd say the heartthrob sounds the best, but i was curious how straights would sound

Im sure it would sound like a v6 with the sweet turbo whistle, which is all it will have in common with a diesel powered vehicle. Moral of the story is it will sound like crap, except for maybe at an idle.

Ya I saw that video on YouTube that's what made me want to hear more. The video quality is kinda rough so I couldn't get the full affect.

I really like the 4" on YouTube. It kind of reminds me of my old 7.3L Strokes. I loved that flutter when you gently cruised through town. I don't care what the sixer rumbles like when getting on it... I'd be past whoever I was trying to impress in a second . It's the easy cruise down mainstreet and the slow run through the parkinglots where the spool sings.
