I like my stock exhaust for its stealth, and it suffices since I'm only pumped up to about a stock diesel pickup.

The little toy cars that think they're going to beat me to the next light are suprised that I can get my ride rolling so quickly.

Though those familiar with my van just jump the green from then on.

When I have the monies to put in a larger turbo, then I'll go for bigger pipes, but I still wish to maintain my stealth.

im on jegs looking at mbrp mufflers and they have 4 stainless steel 3" in/dual 2.5" out, which is what i need. but i dont know what is so different about these, two are $67 and two are $103 though. hmmm

edit: the more expensive ones were t304 and the others were t409. so im down to 2... but they are both 20" long and i know this gibson is way longer, so im not sure what to do about that either. but ill wait til after i see the muffler on to decide. should i just pick one randomly? the part numbers are almost identical

no, this should be for gassers. i mean its 3" in/2.5" out so that seems like it might be too small for diesels anyways. the $67 dollar one that part number ends in 14S is on the way though... made the executive decision that 14 > 12

Miles try pops exhaust, fast go, or the shop across from vics pizza.

Also since the exhaust has 2 1/2" coming out, you could always make up the 12"on that side. You would just have to buy 2 pieces of pipe

Yea pops that's what I'm thinking of, the one near best buy. I was gonna do that but this way results in less clamps and pipe, Im sure one of these places will have 3" pipe

brendon- new england silica Concrete Pavers, Brick Pavers, Retaining Walls, Driveway, Hartford, CT, Windsor, New England Silica i not sure how bad it is, but i would say 5 bags should do it.

justin, what are the bushings for? and if you dealt with the tall goofy kid, he is a little light between the ears and im not surprised it didnt get ordered.
