Another SOLO Ecoboost Install & Review

Impressed
Just got back from the first drive with the Duals on. First the sound, the startup and revving while sitting still is chilling! It sounds very mean and I love it! Once you do get going the tone does change a bit (as to be expected). So far the tone while accelerating is a little higher pitched but I have heard it should deepen a bit over time. I also plan to put a tuner on and have heard that also helps deepen the tone.
Now for the performance. You can instantly feel a little kick in the pants and it seems the turbos respond a little quicker when you mash on the throttle. Also the turbos seem to whistle a little louder (which I love). On all the times I mashed the throttle it was churping the tires from 1st to 2nd. While it isn't a leap and bounds performance increase it is definitely noticeable.
As for MPG's I haven't been on the highway/freeway too much to get an accurate increase or decrease, and also have only put 50 miles on it. I will post another impression in a week or so when it gets broke in more. I should have a couple hundred more miles on it by the end of next week and will post updates then.
Overall very pleased customer and highly recommend it to anyone on the fence! Also the guys at Solo made the purchase a breeze and the system got to my house (from NY to WA state) in exactly a week.
Here is a link to a short video of revving (hopefully it works).

That's awesome man! It took a few hundred kilometres for mine to deepen totally. You'll love it even more. It's like Jeff from Solo told me: "it's nice to know that it only gets better with time". He's so right. Congrats.

That's just the drivers side of the dual exhaust. You should buy it so I can hear it in person! BTW...got my front windows done at Carl's today. Thanks for the heads up on them, inexpensive and they did it in like 20 minutes. Looks good so far.

You would think that the guys that own trucks with this system would know if it had tips on each side or not.....not sure why confirmation was needed. Lol.
