Glad to hear you like it.

Enjoy your new exhaust!

Which way did you both go. Did you split the factory Y or did you add another Y and just ran pipes otu the back. So far I have had about a dozen differnt exhaust sytems I wanted. There's just too much out there. I first wanted a Flowmaster 40 system, then a Ravin. Then after hearing a friends setup which was an added Y pipe with 2 glasspacks turned around backwards ( why I don't know, you can't flow that much more with them backwards)I thought it still sounded fairly quiet, ( it's all in my post Wanted: more sound and power). I guess I could go with straight duals ( true or not) like you guys have and if I don't like it I can just get a DI/DO muffler put on.

I had the factory y left with the cat, then ran 2 1/2" back to a 2" Y for backpressure, then ran 2 1/4" back to the tips. No loss of low end and small increase in mpg.

I have a y pipe after the cat. all the same size pipe with 4in chrome tips out the back.. I increased mpg's and gained horse power... And it sounds great..

I was going to put flowmaster40 on.. but then i decided to drop the mufflers all together.. I is not to loud and has a real cool rumble at idle.... All together IT SOUNDS GREAT... Good luck....

After filling up yesterday i checked the MPG and i was 12.16!!!!!!
That's terrible. How much did your setup help your MPG and was it cheap and easy?

 

I towed a 16foot boat 124mile and got 16.45mpg

my dual exhaust setup costed $263 and some change!
