Wow. That actually does not sound like a fart cannon and sounds pretty good. Pricing available for the combo? Maybe a nice installation video?

At these power levels, you might see a 3 horsepower difference by dropping the cats.

The outlet of the EcoBoost turbos are 2.5 inches and they are pressed up against the side of the truck. What you are seeing is the tube starting at 2.5" so it can connect to the turbo, making a quick turn because there isn't enough room for 3" and then bumping up.

Installation is very easy. Everything bolts in and attaches to the factory hangers!

Prices are on the website below

My livernois catless pipes have a similar step up. If there's little gain from going catless then get catted. You won't have nearly the rasp or volume as the catless pipes.

On the catted downpipes, I can hear the turbos now during light acceleration and cold startup. The exhaust at idle is more throaty as well. Inside the cabin is quiet. I have not thrown a CEL as of yet. I'm very impressed as to the quality of the system. It is significantly lighter weight than stock cats.

I will add... The Catless setup will whistle like crazy! The Cats take a little bit of whistle out of it but still you get a lot more than stock.

I have been waiting along time for some company's to post meaningful results. Sw is the first such company. If and when i drop some hard earned cash on a exhaust system, SW has my hard earned mullah.

It would be nice to see some dyno runs of the SW downpipes w/cats and the stock exhaust. I would be willing to bet that it would be only 10rwhp or so less than with an aftermarket cat-back.

I'm pretty sure others have dynoed their downpipes as well as had before and after 1/4 mile times and traps. I'm not trying to take away from this set of pipes. They look top notch. Just stating what I've read. Thanks again SW for answering the call of your consumer.

I love the power, but still cant get past the V6 sound on a full size truck...wish it was just the turbo sound without the engine noise
