Here are some pics of the install. Had to fab the 1 into 2 pipe and cut a few inches off the pipe after the resonator. This is what a good install should look like.

After much deliberation I am thinking about going this route for exhaust. Most bang for minimal buck.

Would someone like to elaborate on the low end loss of back pressure or torque. I'm towing a boat quite a bit ( flats boat 18 ft 1500lbs ) I need to know if this is going affect that any.

Am I going to have to have Mike at 5 star tweak my tune a little bit?

No issues with the 5 Star tune. Do not tow with this truck but have not noticed any degradation in low end performance. Very nice tone---sounds really good at the higher RPM's. After having it for awhile now the drone is barely noticable.

Nice! Looks and sounds just like mine.
I've got over 40k miles on it and still love it. Engine's getting a little tired, and some mornings the rough idle start sounds better than some Harley's I've known...:)

Boss Hoss you said you left the resonator on ? Is that the big round thing right before the smaller round ( the magnapack I assume ) thing ? Sorry not very mech friendly here.

Maxx yours is without the resonator ? Do you just cut the resonator off then weld up the magnapack ?

Thanks for all your help and info guys.

I ordered the magnapack from amazon just trying to decide if I want to leave the resonator on or not. I would rather not hear my girl pissing and moaning about it and I want to get it right the first time.

I just discovered that my 2010 does not have a resonator. I wonder if my neighbors are going to bitch. Oh well!
