Yeah I just dont like exhaust tips on trucks. Everybody and their mom has the dual exhaust or something similar and they all sound the same.

^ Better, they sound better. Turn downs kill the sound. Ya may not think they do, but they do. I have been there and done that. I also hated tips because everyone has them, but guess what is on my truck now. I went for sound. Besides, magnaflows just don't sound good dumped IMO.

Personally, I've only seen them use the "H" in an equalized system. Like on the Stangs. Where there's no cross over.

Do they, - yea, I don't pay attention to sound as much as performance. There was a reason the H was used on the Stang, other than what I said earlier. I can't recall what it was, but they have that install with explanations on that television show. It was so good they televised it lol. Crap, I can't recall the show now. I'll think about it some more, it'll come to mind eventually lol.

Anyway, you should be able to download it. I used tricks in that guide to install my system. It's a good how to. I'll post it when it comes to mind. :o

This might be a dumb question but for you all who have put some Hi-flow cats on did you replace both your cats (or 4)? I have a 07 XLT and I believe I have 2 cats. I have a friend who told me to just have the shop put 1 on. He said it would sound better with 1 rather than 2? To me that sounded kinda wierd. What have you guys done?

I have an 04... cut all 4 off and 2 94106's went on. You should get rid of both your cats and have two hi flows mounted in. We have 2 or 4 cat systems not one like other makes

Keep the o2's. The best way is the cats as far forward as possible and the o2's mounted an inch or so behind the cats in new bungs

Would a SIDO sound better than a SISO? Thinkin of doing the SIDO but was wondering if you would be able to tell a sound difference?
