It's a v6. It will never sound like a v8. I just want to hear the turbos whistle like my cummins used to.

You'll need a tune to turn off the rear sensors.

Depends on tune. I have tunes from 5 star and unleashed and no cel with either. Mike from 5 star even said it wouldn't when I asked for a tune update.

I am looking at getting one right after the holidays, its not a bad price right now. Also thinking about getting both the 5*/MPT performance only tunes
Any issue with noise or rattles of any kind?

So basically you will either have to learn to live with the sensor being on or void all warranty with a tune? That's sucks been looking hard at the MAK y pipe. Jetlag I like your sound watched that YouTube clip over an over. Not too loud it seems but a nice non ricer sound. LOVE the turbos whistling!!!

You play you pay.

FYI, I'm getting all new cats and a new intercooler and I have a tuner. Turned it to stock and nothing was said. Ill take my chances. Especially since the aftermarket is more apt to fix any problems we might have.

Driving around at a normal RPM and it sounds stock. No extra interior noise except for the turbos whistling. Wide open throttle is definitely louder but isn't nearly as offensive as most of the aftermarket catbacks.

I am 100% happy with my setup. offroad y, resonator delete, stock muffler.
