I just wondered if this type of mod is popular enough for any feedback?? Is there any info in regards to there actually being a loss of torque, because i didnt go with a 500.00 exhaust system???
Your torque will be fine since you used the factory 2.5" pipe. There is no benefit of putting a 3" muffler on the 2.5" pipe. If you feel like changing, don't worry, Flowmasters rot out in 2 years or so.

yea i did post a while back that i wanted sraight pipes because my friend has some and it was loud as crap (but his was a gmc with a 5.4l). but my mom wouldnt let me becuase it was illegal and my dad didnt really care. but i love the look of my exhaust. it is angled out the back with 3 in tips that look awsome. and im pretty happy with my glasspack. i wasnt really sure about it at first but now i love it. it cost me ( or acually my parents) $250 for every thing. i can tell that i gained hp and torque when i switch gears. specially since i beat my friend the other night.

I just got intsalled ExtremeFlow on my truck. I need know how to post clips for you guys to hear how it sounds if you like. So if someone tells me how to I will do it. By the way I was going to put a magnaflow, but not enough back pressure.
