well initial impressions of the cats and resos issssss.......
AWESOME. Love the combo. Here's a pic to see how it looks. However if you do this you'll never get a cat back to bolt up again.

i know this was months ago but was wondering how it is working out for you. it does not sound like it is loud in the cab. i want to get the headers on but i think that it will be to loud. do you have any more sound clips of it. i have a super 40 now and its loud but if i get headers am going to change to some thing else. let me know.

Im getting em and iff too loud ill just pull up the carpet and put some dynomat in to deaden the sound. Audio guys did it and say it works great!
Oh, do you have to coat them? i thought i saw a pic of the stillens that looked all rusty and dark brown
They don't come coated. I think you saw picutres of Marks Stillens...they are rusted and he has two flange welds broke already.

Just a update. All is good the exhaust setup is slightly louder than it was the first weeks but it still gets compliments. When the guys drove my truck Sunday they said they liked it....quiet Thunder was mentioned.
Also the ceramic coating Stillen had done seems to be holding up fine it has started to look a little less polished chrome like but it's still cool and no peeling and no rust.

Hey Kyle.... what kind of deals are going on with those headers this weekend?
Hey RB,
I just picked up these coated headers at the stillen meet... man they look good lol. Anyway do you have any pics of how close you mounted the HiFlo cats past the headers, I saw the pic of the reso's... looks good and sound great
Thanks...

I had my muffler shop order 6 two bolt flanges which they used two and welded the rest. The cats had two flanges welded to them and then bolted to the headers. The Magnaflow cats have about 2.5" of pipe on each end to weld to. In my picture above you can see that once you add cats to the headers there is not much more space for anything else and thus your cat back will likely need to cut some in order to fit if your going to add resonaters as I did.
