So far I really like it. Its a single/in dual/out stainless steel system.

If your looking for a fairly quiet, high quality cat-back exhaust you can't go wrong with this system. The install takes about 2 hours with regular hand tools. Mine bolted up with no problems and the fit was perfect.

It's a little hard to convey the noise level but, if the stock exhaust is a 1 and open headers were a 10. The Borla would fall in around a 4.5. As time has pased and some miles have been put on it, I'd rate it at a 5.5. This is the level at light throttle. Once you step on it those figures rise to a 6.5-7.0. You know its there but the sound is not obnoxious :D

As far as cost goes I've seen the system for $450 (I paid w/internet special) all the way to $700+. Thats the bad news. The good news is it won't rust out and is backed by an 1,000,000 mile warranty so It should be the only one you'll ever need :drunk:

I have some photos of the system here:

Kind of a photo install:D

I never tried to run a spare Henry, but by the look of the space left over I don't see a problem.

Does that setup have more low end power? I like your truck bro...real clean for a 4X4. Keep it up. What does it sound like compared to the 40 series flows?

From the Flowmaster sound bits I've heard, the 40's seem louder. If I had to equate the Borla/Flowmaster probably= 50-70 series. That's a best quess:)

Loki, the power increase seems constant through-out the powerband. :cool: It took around 1000 miles but its definitely noticable.
