Did you have drone insinde ? What is your set up. Down pipe? Catback?
Thanks

No drone at all. Right now I have just the HF cats and stock exhaust. I had solo's mr400 catback for a little while, but it was too loud for me. I just ordered their Mach 46 muffler to quiet it down a little.
Hardcore, I tried taking a video a little while back but It didn't really turn out well. The best way to describe it with the stock catback is simply more turbo whistle with harder acceleration. It's still whisper quiet while cruising. To me, start up even sounds the same as stock(might be a little louder though).

After all of the time and money ive spent on the exhaust I think the best setup is stock catback, catted or catless downpipes and a cutout for when you want it loud. Downpipes weren't available when I started playing around with my exhaust or that's the setup I would have done.

There's a thread somewhere on here when they had the group buy going. I think it's in the vendor section. You could also call them with questions. Nice people.

And it fit very bad whit my flo pro and i put hight temp silicone. I just dont know what think!!!
That is why i want to change my offroad pipe to put HF pipe.
And personnaly i prefere stainless but when i bougth it i didn t know you made it in stainless.
And one other thing is the offraod pipe made a inferno drone in my truck even whit a diesel 4" resonator i tow each day of the week and it s very bad to me
Why did they not use the adapters , thats the problem your having . Fumes can come out of the exhaust in the smallest of leaks and not be visible . You cannot just tighten the y pipe to the turbo manifolds without the adapters . They insure a tight seal . Why did they throw them out .
