Y pipe and resonator delete ??

Hey
Been poking around the internet about exhaust options for my 5.4..Some have said to just upgrade the Y pipe and remove resonator...Anyone do this ? What are the effects ?

Thanks !!!!!

The y-pipe is good, but i would not recommend deleting the resonator unless you want it loud. Also, if you want a good exhaust note you might get a cat back system. Deleting the resonator and muffler on these engines make them sound like crap.

You have a 2008. The 2005+ gas trucks have decent Y-pipes. There is usually only a gain in flow if you replace the Y-pipes from the older 2V gas engines.
