Your exhaust looks sweet bro.

I have the metallic 2.5" cats in my exhaust system and they are sweet.

NICE system!

Regarding the clean underside of the truck; Mine stays almost that clean just from spraying with the high pressure sprayer every couple weeks.

Was the X pipe Magnaflow as well? YES
No drone, even when you pull away from a stop?Doesn't seems to ... i went on a test drive and TRIED to make it drone to no avail. Long tubes help eliminate the 6.0L drone

I'll post up numbers of parts shortly.
Sweet, Thanks!

I might consider those catalytic converters. The last pair I bought were the OBD-II Legal 3" in/out oval ones that I paid $$$$ for. The lasted all of 5 months before they had both completely disintegrated and blown out the tailpipes. It was the rattling that pissed me off more than even all the wasted money. After looking at my stock cats and the way they are constructed (round) I figured round was a better way to make something that goes through huge temperature swings. Those round one's you've got might be worth a try. I just need to get better service out of them! I ended up welding 3" pipes to my stock ones, but that's not right. (Stock ones holding up fine BTW)

Lets see how those tips look with it on the ground.

That looks just like the exhaust I had on my '01 Lightning
