for only having 5k miles (just turned 5k this morning) the stock exhaust DID look bad. you should have seen the muffler. rusty, very discolored. can't imagine what it would have looked like after say...20k. anyone else see this with their stock set-up?

I installed my Bassani last weekend. My stock exhaust had 3,000 miles on it. It was never driven in the rain or snow. The stock exhaust looked like it had 30,000 miles on it, just nasty…

Rob, did you get your truck redynoed after the cat-back and fuel pumps.

I threw it out the next day, not even worth keeping....

Yes we checked it real quick the other night at dam near midnight. "Sal is like that got dam energizer Bunny I tell you"
My fuel and corked up probs are OVER
We didn't make any changes yet cause I didn't have any race fuel in it, nor did I know we were going to Dyno it. I'm hoping to get back there in the next few nights for a race tune and the N20 #'s Air fuel is a solid line from start to finish now at 11.8
(looks like you drew it with a dam ruler)

We actually dropped a few pony's cause it's richer now,
it was 475/596 before on my 24/7 basic pump gas tune. It dropped to 460+ / 580+ I didn't even bother asking for the sheet, (we were more concerned in just seeing if the fuel prob was gone, "IT IS") Hope to have the final #'s in a few days. Need a Nitrous Refill and some Race fuel before doing that.....
AND I WILL PASTE IT ALL OVER THE NET ; o )
