2.25" is the problem. Its better for low end power, but its just much too quiet. 2006+ two cat systems are the loudest cats Ford trucks have probably ever had since the 80s.

No, your freeing up restriction which increases flow force that helps with economy and performance.

It'll void the exhaust warranty, and they may try to blame any problems you have on that.
