    Well, first off I have an 05 4.0L Double cab and just recently put in a Airaid Cold air intake. Ive noticed a little extra performance, however would like more(I pull a 20 ft holiday trailer) Im thinking of the magnaflow catback exhaust. Anyone out there that installed one and if so does it add good gains? Any feed back on this would be great.
    Cheers

    i have the magnaflow catback installed and its pretty nice. not sure about the gains b/c i put it on after less than 2 months of owning the truck. i really didnt pay too much attention back then...it was pre-TW days...lol

    very easy to install. i did it on a concrete slab w/ no jacks or anything. i just rolled under there and did it. the hardest bart is getting the stock exhaust out of the rubber hangers. the magnaflow catback comes in 3 pieces i think....muffler, the pipe connecting the muffler to the downpipe, and then the pipe off the muffler to the rear. the muffler to pipe fittings are pretty much hose clamps...and there are 2 spring loaded bolts that connect the downpipe to the magnaflow pipe. its pretty easy to do. might take an hour if you go slow and take ur time.

    EDIT: i do like the sound, but u can hear it a lil too much in the cab i believe. when u get down on it, it's pretty loud and rumbly. even at idle, u can hear it in the cab w/ all windows up and all.
