6.0 exhaust question

I have the Banks system and like it alot. I heard a 6.0 go by at low speeds when I was at a boat place. It sounded awesome!!! I could swear it was a jet cruising the parking lot. Anyone have an idea what this person put on or did to make the truck sound this way?

They probably took the cat out. Mine gained like 30 db of exhaust "whistle" after getting rid of it.

Maybe took the cat out or just put in a turbo-back exhaust...my 03 sang really nice when I did that, and that was with the cat in

chata,

Most likely that was 2003 6.0, Ford changed the turbo wheels in 2004 and quieted it down a lot turbo whistle wise. The Banks systems have no provision to remove the cat in a 6.0 truck, however the MBRP systems we have are built so they cat bolts directly into the system with no modification at all or you can get our cat test pipe that also bolts in, it's for of road and racing use etc. If you get it and drop the cat even a 2004/05/06 will have a really nice turbo whistle etc. Call us if you have any questions etc.

How much is the replacement stainless pipe from your place? Does it bolt right into place after removal of the u-bolts?

It has a 2 bolt flange that connects up to the MBRP down pipe, it can be made to work on the stock Ford down pipe but I can't guarantee it might not leak some, the Ford QC is a little lacking as they are connecting a 3.0 pipe to a 3.5 and the seal area is real wide etc. If you're trying to delete a cat on a banks system just get out muffler delete pipe for the Ford's it's long enough and has the expansions on each end already and it's chaeper too! Site rules don't allow prices to be listed so you'll have to call or get on out site, www.dieselperformanceparts.com
