Default Considering either stainless works or solo performance exhaust (I have a few ?'s)

Guys I got the okay from the wife and my dealer to install an exhuast with a guarantee they WILL NOT void my warranty as long as I'm behind the 'Y'

I'm torn between the Stainless Works catted exhaust and the Solo Performance Mach-X. Both are about the same price wise....I searched like crazy and saw one dyno for the mach-x...had good numbers. I saw 5stars dyno of Stainless works...buuuut that was with the down pipe---which I am not wanting.

1). Anyone have any more stock to exhaust added dyno #'s for their trucks for either exhaust?

2). Will either exhaust cause check engine lights due to o2 sensor issues?

which one will you suggest. (BTW, the dealer asked me today if I was happy, I said kinda. Like I said I came from a 05' Silverado SS with tune, intake, exhaust, 2nd and 4th billet and corvette syncros, ported TB, 160* thermostat and AWD. I told him the lack of any exhaust note pisses me off, he agreed and made some calls to the service dept and they told me keep it behind the 'y' and they'd back me.)

The Stainless Works catback, either the S tube muffler or turbo chambered muffler style, will not throw a CEL with just the catback. Check out the link in my signature as well, running a 10% off Stainless Works sale so be $625 plus shipping for a SW catback. Let me know any questions! Glad to help regardless of where you end up getting one.

No I don't. I've sold quite a few kits to folks who said they were going to hit a dyno but haven't heard back. And I have yet to hit a dyno with my setup as well but scheduled for it in a couple weeks. But I also have a offroad downpipe as well so won't be exactly what you are looking for.

I just found a dyno from stock back to back on the solo mr400, looks like 21lbs Tq and like 1HP peak. The 21ft lbs was early in the run and HP came on earlier than stock but maxed out at the same.

***Turbochad posted the dyno in another thread. Looks like some pretty good numbers.
