Like to hear it at the back with a stock exhaust, reving up, and then taking off.

Debating on doing exhaust system to get that nicer sound but the AFE intake might be enough to make that itch go away for right now.

Greatly appreciated if anyone can pull this off.

Go ahead and do both. r1racer has great prices on exhaust too.

Sounds great! Actually your MPG may go up a bit. (after you get over the great sound you get when you slam on the gas!

)

Sounds fantastic. How difficult is this install for a lightweight mechanic like me? I just got the sprint booster this week to install and now I want MORE!

If you can use a screw driver, it should be easy :-)
