Hmm sounds too much like a gasser for me. That thing also seemed pretty slow, even for stock, IMO

He says no CEL in the 300 miles he's driven it. But others are call BS as they tried it and either have the CEL because no sensors or are constantly regenning.

when he rev's up and lets off it sounds like some cheezy sound effects for a laser cannon from star wars or something hahaha

and i agree, sounds like a gasser, but then again, when havent the straight piped fords sounded like that? when they stomp on em they have that loud popping just like a gasser.

I thought it sounded cool in its own way. I much prefer a real diesel like my Cummins, but I thought it was sorta cool.

I think it sounded cool, and it seemed to get up and go plenty good IMO. It is slow compared to a modded truck but for stock it had some ummfg IMO.

I'm not a fan of the gasser sound, but the turbo sounds out the pipe were pretty cool.

agreed...when under throtle it sounds to much like a flowmaster 40 series on a chevy truck...lord knows i know that sound...

i do like the spool of the turbo...but i dont know what the hub-bub is all about that is what mine sounds like out the tail pipe...you can hear the turbo whistle durring and after shut down for a few seconds....

just my 0.02

I followed an '08 F-450 home tonight and it sounded like crap! My brother's '06 sounds pretty darn good, but he does have an RBP exhaust.

Why are people calling BS on him if it's obvious he is running a straight pipe

Not the pipe but the fact that he say he has NO CEL's. He is selling the pipe to other guys and some have asked him about what he did to the sensors before they fork over any money. He says buy it and he will tell. Big argument over there on it.

You're right, seems to be quicker in reverse than going foward..
