I keep telling people despite all if the videos of Solo exhaust and the jpipe they are super loud in the cab. This is the case with all exhausts that remove the resonator and some of the ones that keep it.

Shoot don't have to tell me bro. I live it everyday with my SOLO MACH 46 cat back and down pipes.

I'd like to find a factory take off Raptor cat back with the dual outs and put on my truck and sell this SOLO cat back cheap.

Agreed. I wasn't putting them in a particular order. Just the big three I'd do if it were I.

But ya I'd say cooler IAT's is more important than a little more exhaust flow too. As it been proven it doesn't take much to heat soak the OE CAC.

If I tune the engine, will it void the waranty?

YES, if it is huge concern, don't tune it

I'm sure you can salvage the solo. When I looked at my friends there looks like there's room for a resonator either between the J and muffler or J and ypipe. Id lose the jpipe all together and weld a real resonator in its place. Post up results if you go that route.

Really? So for a guy that doesn't tow much it sounds like just getting the tune is what is needed. I could spend another $3k on mods but they wouldn't make much of a difference compared to the tune. Why bother?

Or until bigger turbos come out then your getting more performance. And a good tune on top of that it will be a lot of power. For those not towing but looking for power.
