well i havent mentioned the word "nasty" to anyone in person about my exhaust before they listen to it and i have had several people's (including my 62 y.o. father) first word to describe it after hearing it for the 1st time call it "nasty". so i guess that is the best word to sum it all up. this exhaust is NASTY!

as the computer and tune settle in and finish learning i can def tell the exhaust system has made a difference. its got some more balls and it pulls up some hills by my house fairly easy without down shifting a gear like it used to. speaking of downshifts, the tune mike sent me is great. he has the down shifts setup great, even better than the last 9 tunes i have gotten from him over the last couple years

Nick. I just went back and read like the last 15 pages of you build. It making me second guess ordering it. I was in a car cruise this past weekend and there was a Roush Raptor kinda cruising next to me. Damn thing made me feel like shit cuz his sounded really good. Now I'm on a mission to make my truck louder. I know Wiz and Ironman are running full SW headers and stock location exhaust. I hope I'm going to be louder than theirs. Haha.

dont 2nd guess it. the install will be a bitch but if u have the right tools and a 2nd set of hands that hopefully knows how to wrench as well. you will get it done. just give your self time to install it. its all worth it

the more i drive the truck the more the money, blood, sweat, and beers, were worth putting into the install. it sounds awesome and the performance gain is great. honestly i dont know how much more peak gains i got in hp and tq but even if its not much more, i feel the the hp and tq curve must be better. plus the header tune from 5 star is spot on. when u jump on it and the truck downshifts it really puts u back unless it just breaks the tires loose. which brings me to this...headers will make u want to change the rear suspension. i get more wheel hop/axle wrap now. i was planning on doing the rear suspension any way so its no big deal. hoping some better springs stop/help it.
