Thanx!

I would say doing a dyno after a catback or axle back exhaust is a waste of money. There may be slight gains but very slight if any. The main point of it is to change the sound of the car and shed some weight.

You'll maybe gain like 4-5 hp if you're lucky. Most do exhaust systems just for the sound. It also helps that almost every if not every exhaust will shed weight because the stock cans are so heavy. The restriction in the exhaust system is present in the cats. You'll get a nice gain out of those

Thanks guys! So im better off putting my efforts into a Header setup with a ported intake manifold and a ported throttle body huh? If I do anything to the exhaust ill get a magnaflow x pipe with the Flowmaster American Thunder Axle back setup. It's very quiet and just deeper sounding than the stock exhaust. Since exhaust is mainly about sound ill do that last. Oh! And if anyone knows where I could get a good price for bbk LTs let me know because if not ill wait and see if any discounts come up around black Friday or Christmas time to buy.

The absolute best price you're going to find for bbk headers is on autoanything.com they usually have a 15% off sale once a month plus free shipping. So snag them up then. Unless a vendor does 20% off which I doubt, that's the best you'll get

kjkjr27 · 10-26-2013, 01:36 PM

May even be able to get lucky to find someone selling a used set on here. But other than that autoanything is your next best bet, that is where I got mine from.

Apparently my state truck isn't done spending money.

Just walked out to a completely flat passenger side rear tire.

I don't have a HUD on my auto, and as a result, I run into damn near everything. Drove through a pet shelter last night (still pulling fur out of my grille) and damn near plowed into an orphanage this morning. All because I glanced down at my digital speedo. NEVER AGAIN will I buy a car without HUD.
