It's unfair to even compare it to the stock downpipe. Welds are impeccable and high-grade stainless-steel shines like the stock downpipe could never (Delivered in 4 days). Install is fairly easy if you have the right tools. Keep in mind that if you don't have access to a lift and therefore working on jack stands... the install just became a bit more challenging.
Crucial items to have in your toolbox are the O2 Sensor removal tool, a swivel joint for the wrench, a decent extension for the wrench to make life easier, an exhaust hanger removal tool, optional but highly recommended is an impact drill.
Paired with the flowmaster Y-pipe and active exhaust; CVF gives you a throaty aggressive noise level and turbo spool sounds even while in the cabin with the windows up. The active exhaust grants full control of when and where you want to be loud. Choose track mode for the best and loudest while being able to silence the aggressiveness with quiet mode.
All in all, a remarkable product that any EcoBoost owner will appreciate.
