I wish I had some experience with them. I'd be interested in loaning you this thread to find a solution I want to eventually run long tubes and high flows and if I could just run a di/do I could keep all my current piping

I'd like to run long tubes also but not much of a selection for the 4.6 2wd unfortunately I think I have my mind set on the bullets to seems everyone likes them

I like the bullets too actually! I just think it'd be nice to keep my current piping with a di/do. There's too many options really lol.

I prepped everything tonight and gave app my pipes a quick coat of engine enamel just an extra layer of protection and I had a full can laying around! I have the whole day off tomorrow so hopefully she goes on then and I'll have a clip up for you guys!

Sweet I'd like to hear it my VX exhaust sounds good just not loud enough for me I didn't realize that tips make a difference even when it's dumped so I found some 9 inch bullets at summit for 20 a piece and an xpipe on eBay for 30 so I may go that route and dump it where I have it now but angle the dumps out toward the passengers side and add some black tips even tho they won't be seen lol

Well boys and girls, I installed the kit tonight. And although everything lined up just as the diagram stated. It was a pain in the ***. Am I satisfied with the kit, yes. Would I ever order another one? No. They didn't send me an extension pipe to add before the flowmaster so the pre bent pipes would fit over the axles and what not. So I had to run to a muffler shop and have them cut one for me. The hangers they sent me are rather useless but that is because the limited amour of mounting options with the particular hanger they sent me (not their fault, although this was a kit specifically for my truck.) I still need to get the tips on so no pics for now. I will make a video in the morning but there's not much too it. A little rumble at idle and you don't hear it until you get on it and it doesn't last very long. Must be the restrictive 04 cat system. I like the sound it's not too loud and should get a little deeper when I get the tips finished.

All in all I'm satisfied with it but my next system will be left to a shop who has a lift and is way more skilled than myself!

Alright last one! I got the tips on tonight and hung everything real nice! It's hard to fine places to hang the pipes under that truck! There's just nothing there. Sounds way better now! The tips give it more of a rumble and I'm super satisfied with it now. I'll email the video to myself and upload it on a computer tonight it won't let me on the app!
