Default Holy chit .96ar housing!

I made a few small changes to the truck this weekend and all I can say is wow. I had the cats cut off and I put the .96ar housing on my MPT70 and it made a big difference. The 6.0L spools this setup very quick even with the bigger housing and it pulls like a freight train all the way through the power band now. At 6psi it will blow the tires off from a 30mph roll when it downshift to 1st and on 10psi it will spin in second from a 50mph roll. The only complaint so far is that it is way too loud without the cats so I going to put a magnaflow bullet style muffler before the turbo to take away the rasp.

Iv had a Magnaflow infront of my STS since i put the kit on... I think thats whats causing the deep noise in the cab.. so i put a smaller Magnaflow after the turbo and it just sounds like a NA truck now until the wastegate opens..

When i get time, i want to remove the front Magnaflow and leave the one on the back.. If that doesnt sound good im goin to copy Spoolin's setup.. or just not run a muffler cause i loved the whistle it use to make!!!

I liked the smaller housing on the 5.3L but the bigger housing pulls better on the 6.0L.
