I love how it turned out. It goes well with the rest of the flames on the truck. As far as the exhaust goes, its not true dual; it has a y pipe. 2 1/2" tubing still runs from the cats up until the y pipe. This setup replaced my 3" Flowmaster single exhaust. If I have lost any torque, it's so minimal that I can't tell. Drone isn't bad since I shoved the resonators as far back as I could. Thank you migdaddy for the technical advice and to those who referred me to videos with similar setups. Now what's wrong with a little s n m if you're the one holding the whip?
Well that is pretty unique. First glance it was a bit much in my opinion but thats pretty cool you made it yourself. So you have a Y pipe and the SLPs mounted and dual tailpipes, pretty unique. I think thats the first someone actually did that, and your performance should be exactly what a SI/DO Magnaflow would be. Congrats.

Next step is to get some nice shorty headers and cats that still comply with California emissions laws. Any suggestions? I was thinkin JBA. I know they make nice emissions legal headers. I looked up dynatech; only found long headers. They don't comply. Maybe magnaflo cats if they are legal.

Hey I have a 06 5.4, and was thinking of buying high flows but is alot of strees for me with the o2 sensor, so my question is how do you gut cats? I like to try gutted cats. I have a Gibson Super Truck Exhuast 3" and is to quiet for me.
