Here's a side by side

On Edit: no it isn't, guess I still suck at this. Stand by or look in my gallery.

this may be bad, i could be homeless after i get my exhaust installed.
It'll stay quiet if you keep the rpm's low. Even going up a hill. Luckily when I leave at zero-dark-thirty, the exhaust faces away from my kids' rooms. It's flat but you have to accelerate a little bit. Wait until it's cold and you start it. It sounds like a jet turbine at idle.

Then took a nap cause I had to work last night... after sleeping half the day away but got er done, sort of... It's on there but it had gotten dark and the hawk was blowing out of the north to the tune of about a wind chill in the 20s...

Hey, Tenn. These excuses may have worked in SF but, this is the 5" Club. Not cold, or dark, nor lack of sleep should prevent a 5" exhaust from going on a Powerstroke. Period. So, get the halogens fired up, pop some no-doze (or whatever they're called these days), put on the insulated p.j's and get back out there. We'll be waiting here when you get back. Failure is not an option.

Seriously, I'm glad you finally got it. Let us know how you like the sound.

Yup. Something for comparison. A foot in a shoe works great - unless you wear a size 2 1/2 shoe. Your shoe IS bigger than that, right Kwik?

Nice comparison pix, Tenn. To those who haven't noticed, please note that the HUGE downpipe is only 4" - the 4" bulges to 5" in the second pipe back.

I still have about 4 feet of the 5" pipe. You get enough pipe to install the system on any wheelbase Super Duty - mine is a standard cab long bed, which is the shortest wheelbase you can get with the PSD. Not sure what to do with it.

If I remember tomorrow, I'll stuff my 7 month old son in mine and take a picture. It'll be one of those, father-son moments he'll one day share with his therapist.

I have to stop staying up late, I get simple..

Sorry about that. I will figure it out here eventually. Started I couldn't get anything in. Now I'm out of control once I got in. Sound like anything else??

Keep 'em at 640x480 max and you'll be fine.

I was having trouble deciding between four inch, Four inch dualls, or five inch to. Took me over 6 months to decide. My five inch came today. All I can say is when I opened up the box and started pulling pipes out Im glad I got the five inch system. I even put the muffler in the back seat to take to work to show off I was tweenty minutes late to work cause I was debating if I was going to go to work or call in sick so I could install it. Then I thought about ditching school to install it. Then I came to cold hard realization it is going to have to wait untill Saturday. All I can say is the five inch is MAMMOTH and I cant wait to go cruise up next to a convertable on the strip. \

640 x 480? Oh. Okay. I figured if I limited it to 800 x 600 all would be well. I'll make them smaller from now on. In fact, I went ahead and reduced the last one.

Guess I'm just too used to my 5-inch exhaust - everything looks small!
