Cool, I checked it out. Where is your exhaust exiting?
I'm getting it tuned in 2 weeks, so I have that much time to get some shakedown miles put on it. have about 10 miles on it right now, ordered a turbo blanket to keep the heat down under the hood and also because the coolant tank was getting really hot already. The transmission seems to be working from what I can tell so far, I haven't given it more than 25% throttle yet. The shifting is softer than I expected so far. 3 bar OS will be flashed very soon and then I'm going to finish up this tank of 87 unleaded (less than 1/4 left) and top it off with E85.
More updates will follow.

I just went ahead and ordered a flowmaster 50 series delta flow today. Looked up a few videos online and it sounds decent. As long as it's a little better than right now it'll be cool. The videos don't capture the resonation that it has, plus it's just super loud. I will be making the muffler interchangeable with a straight pipe section on V-bands for when I don't need to be so quiet.

I've had the truck on the road for a week or two so far, got 450 miles on it and everything has been going perfect. Just working on coming up with a good solution for filling the gas tank right now. When I fill up at the station the pump cuts off early everything (after 5 gallons) and after that I am only able to do another gallon at a time so it takes forever. I did 350 miles on 92 octane and then switched over to E85 for the last 100 miles before I dropped it off on Monday to be tuned.
My brother and I put on lots of miles getting it tuned conservatively at 10psi and it's insane. Can't wait to get the truck back with the professional tune at 20psi. The guy normally does all street tuning but he called me yesterday after a day with it and said that my tires aren't working out so great for the way he normally tunes because it just spins at any speed in 2nd gear. My rear end is 3.23 so 3rd isn't an option because of the high speed it would be at in the higher RPM. The truck does 95mph in 2nd gear. So it is going on a dyno in the morning. It'll cost a little more but I'm fine with that because I'll get a better product.
I got a turbo blanket to keep the heat down under the hood and help protect the coolant overflow tank from melting.
After 100 miles with the loud exhaust I had to finish it off all the way to the rear.
Flowmaster 50 series.
Tucked up high above the frame. Sound perfect now.

is your FPR noisy at all? Like at idle with windows up can you hear it making noise on the firewall? Thats where i have mine and i can hear it in the cab pretty bad , even with rubber insulator on the mount
You should get some heat wrap on that downpipe, keep the coils/wires cooler

Yeah, you're right about the vent. I have the stock vent line that runs up with the filler neck, I removed the brass restrictor from the inside of that hose and it helped. I also have another line off the rear vent port of the tank but it's not enough. It's pretty annoying right now.
My regulator is a little noisy but it's pretty quiet. I can only hear it at idle. I don't have it rubber insulated yet but I want to, just not high enough on the priority list right now. It's a smooth liquid flowing sound and some times you can even hear the injector pulses. I plan to do all of the engine bay exhaust ceramic coated the next time I feel like having it parked for a little while.
