    Not first hand. Ive just seen a few posts about how easy they are to install without people posting sound clips or dyno results.

    Just giving my second hand knowledge.

    Is there a noticeable increase in power? Would you recommend them for someone naturally aspirated? I was also interested in URD but would honestly prefer aFe given their quality and fitment. No emissions where I live but I don't want to waste money either.

    The urd catless y pipe is awesome. I totally recommend it. The sound is great and it made the truck more responsive in my opinion.

    sounds good. Hey I was wondering if your afe down pipes still have the heat shield? Did you have it welded on? Cause there aren’t connection points for it like there are on the original.

    I don’t know if ovtune is still offering catted pipes, but I’ve never been impressed with 400 series stainless for exhaust systems. I believe that the ov downpipes were 304, which is the route i would go if it’s available.

    you’re always gonna get a CEL from removing cats. You could try an O2 sensor spacer or get it tuned out. It’s just letting you know there’s a problem with the emissions system
