Is that a SI/DO setup?

"SI/DO setup?" I'm slow on the abbreviations, not sure. I am running a 3.73 rear gear. KM

Sounds great inside the truck. A little louder than I would want on my personal truck, but the tone is awesome for an ecoboost, IMO. (your pypes setup)

I can believe mpg increasing because the stock exhaust may have been somewhat restrictive.

4” is fine if you want the tone that a bigger pipe will give but it’s complete overkill for any EB truck.

eh, single 3" is good for ~500-550whp or so, tops. I like having overhead.

Though this article suggests otherwise for 3" exhaust (single) at ~339hp

3.5” is a good compromise. 4” just isn’t needed until 4 figure power levels.

doesn't matter until somebody makes a good downpipe option for the 17+ anyways, as it goes into a single 2.5" midpipe before the OEM muffler, which is stupid IMO.

Maybe that's why mine doesn't sound too bad as I have the Livernois catted down pipes that feed straight into the exhaust. No resonator. 3" all the way. I also have very little/almost no drone.
