^^^^ I agree laying on the ground sucks, lol. Got it in after about 3 hours of messing around. When it came tome to piece the MAK down pipe together let's just say I wasn't impressed. I had to hammer the edges of both pieces that attached into the Y to get them to fit. Got it under the truck and f'ed around with it for 30 min before I realised my jack that was holding up the trans had gone down so I had been fighting a losing battle. I have a total of probably 4.5 hours into it. Definitely hear more turbo whistle and a bit more drone. I don't hear any rattles or anything on it though so far.

I didn't take any pictures prior but I could crawl back under and take a few and a video while I'm at it. I'm glad that project is done! I don't think I would do a turbo swap after messing with this, lol.

Love that turbo whistle, its definitely there when driving even when you let off the gas. Oddly enought when i was checking for leaks it whistled when i started it, but not after I got them stopped. 
Anyway, i tried taking some vids with my phone tonight, let's just say I know vids only give a fraction of the actual sound but my phone made it sound horrible! Doesn't even sound at all like it does when being next to the truck. I'll use my tablet tomorrow, that at least does at halfway close depiction of the sound.
Also, being cat less should I be getting a code at some point? I've seen nothing yet....not that I'm complaining
