DO NOT buy a cat-back system looking for an increase in power or torque...............

Buy a cat-back IF your looking for a better sound from your truck

What Gator meant by what he said is that there really isnt any power to be gained in a cat-back. Do not buy a cat-back expecting an increase in power, you will be dissapointed.

With that said, I have Bassani.

sound.

Thanks man, I guess I should have been more clear

With that said, I just love the sound of my Bassani's breathing thru the JDM/Kooks Long tubes and hi-flows

It's a double edged sword. The engine is moving air MUCH more effeciently with headers and high flows, so your tune needs to be adjusted because generally you will run alot richer. Like any mod, the gains are to be found with the truck is tuned in for it.


Have any of you ever held a stock exhaust manifold in your hand?? It's amazing that these trucks make that much power with those manifolds. They are tiny.
