You might like the Mach-X by SOLO check them out in the vendor section on the home page. It is a cat-back but may fit what you are looking for and there is a GB on an already pretty good price. YMMV.

I'm thinking about going the same route with the stainlees system. Are there any issues with sensors/lights with this exhaust? Did you have it installed or do it yourself. Seems like it would be a to do yourself.

I have zero issues no codes no lights! I had it installed at a custom truck shop near me.. ford does not make their engines very DIY friendly. And i really didn't wanna screw around with trying to get the stock manifolds off and the new headers in. I love my system tho I've gotten phone calls from friends and stopped randomly by strangers just to tell me how good it sounds! Also can't complain about customer service from SW any questions I had when originally deciding on which combination of parts to order were answered immediately and professionally..

I'm looking into doing the same thing Jimmy. Their system looks pretty cool. Did the install improve your gas mileage at all? Probably not at first i know, you probably couldn't keep your foot out of it to hear that sound . But have you noticed any change since? Also, how much did the install cost you? When you get time I'd love to see some pictures of those headers installed.

I don't think there was a MPG difference on mine. The stock system is really good from a restriction standpoint.

No change in MPG really as mechanicboy said the stock system is pretty unrestrictive for a stock setup.. couldn't give you an exact price on the install since I had the headers exhaust, boss 302 intake manifold, CAI n lift all done at the same time.. but all that total only ran me about $1000 including alignment after the lift.. the trucks in the body shop right now since Bambi decided to run out in front of me last week on my way home from work.. but hopefully as long as the weather is nice I plan to take some pics this coming weekend..
