LOL well used that excuse when I ordered the gauge set last week and SCT today. I asked the tech at the dealer today if they would void the warrenty if I put a turbo back exhaust on the truck and he said he didn't care but talk to the guys at the front desk. He also said he thinks it's a waste of $$ and time, said stock is just as good, I don't buy that.

stock is fine, but a 5inch pipe is overkill. you will notice some minor differences but nothing like 5mpg increase, or 2 second drop in 1/4 mile. lol

so you picked up .9mpg by just changing out the catback, not the cat or anything else. Just a 4" cat back and that is it?

I dont think you read JoCaren's description correctly.. Its not a CAT-BACK.. its a Turboback system with CAT DELETE AND MUFFLER DELETE..

But if the .9MPG is accurate just from exhaust I may be buying one myself... Ive wanted to do exhaust since I got the truck but could never justify buying one when the stock system is still good.. But I think once springtime comes Im going to make the purchase.

ford4lifer,

Most likely the guy scaring peds has a 2003, the turbo whistle is much louder as the wheel is different on them, thrust me I know as I have one. I love it but for some a 2003 with no cat can be a bit much. Get the 4 inch unless you just want the look of a 5 inch and if you do you can always get our 4 -6 inch tip for the "look"! Call us we'll steer you the right way based on what you want.
