ceramic holds heat better, means a cool as possible engine bay, if the price difference isn't too bad i'd go for it.

yeah i understand it holds heat better but how many degrees are we talking? if its just a few then i dont see any need but it is an extra $259

I'm not quite sure. Your best bet would be to contact Dynatech support direct tomorrow morning and ask.

so i just talked to dynatech and the customer service guy didnt sound too sure but he said on a supermaxx system on a corvette the temperature difference would only be 5-10 degrees.

so i mean 5-10* difference isnt worth an extra $260 dont you think?

In a truck, no. I'd say regular is fine. Corvettes & street cars that spend their time in WOT maybe but not for a pickup. I'd skip on it.

sounds good to me! just sent in my order to Troyer!

Awesome. Did you go with the entire kit with cats or just the headers?

th3godf4th3r · #9 10-26-2009, 06:11 PM

with cats, i dont know the difference performance wise with them off and not that i should be having to get my emissions checked soon but the state of wa is pretty strict on them i believe

ok, just curious. Didn't know if you already had hi-flow cats and were doing the headers only or not. I would really like to hear the Dynatech pkg with Magnaflow true duals. I doubt I would ever do LTs but if it wont ruin my sound by making it raspy I may consider it because I want the power increase.

nope did not have hi-flow cats. i have the 14" maggie true duals and i think they will be too loud when i get the LT's installed so i might move to something a little bigger.

i like a deep rumble/throaty sound and i hate popping so hopefully this wont change the way they sound right now TOO much because i like my exhaust now but the exhaust on my 5.9l jeep grand cherokee was the best sounding exhaust ive heard and would be tickled pink for it to sound like that
