A small loss of power was noticed. Perhaps slightly more restrictive muffler(s) should be considered. Initially, I had glasspacks. After they "burned up", I went with the Ravin. It also flows quite freely.

I have true dual with a 18 inch glasspack on each pipe. Seems like there is more power if you ask me. I got 2 1/4 inch pipe.

Question

I'm also about to put dual exhaust on my 98
ext. cab. It has the 4.6 l engine. Has
anybody tried Supertrapps on the end of each
pipe? I am planning on leaving the cat.
Anybody have any idea what that sounds like?
