Okay here's my review on it. This is with factory intake offroad downpipe and factory exhaust. Exhaust is noticeably louder but not obnoxious or annoying. I wouldn't want it any louder for a daily driver so i probably won't put a catback on it.

Tone is kind of bleh but i expected that coming from the lsx v8 world. Turbos are much louder! Power gains are definitely noticeable but i have the livernois tuner as well.

Install is kind of a pain but not too bad. Turbos are kind of hard to reach (need swivels and extensions)and i had to drop the trans mount to get the factory pipes off. If no one puts up a sound clip ill try to get one with my cell phone after work.

This is the MAK offroad down pipe, resonator removed and factory muffler.

The two different downpipes are not going to sound different...maybe MAYBE just slightly.

here is another link with the y pipe and some other things with the exhaust. Little to loud for me personaly but is getting closer to a decent v6 exhaust.

That sounds like a mini diesel. I wouldn't mind mine sounding diesely...better than sounding like a 3000gt.

You're right they do. I just don't know if I could get used to my truck sounding like one. Loud jet engine turbo sound like my 05 dodge diesel, I could get used to that.
