Downpipe question
I have read that simply swapping out the stock downpipe with a 3.5" one will make a significant difference in EGTs and some modest performance gains. My question is will this type of swap hook up with the stock exhaust with the use of an adaptor?
My truck has relatively new exhaust from the previous owner. I am happy with the sound with just the cat and no muffler. I understand that replacing the whole system would be preferred. However I do pull a dump trailer from time to time and am subject to DOT inspections, so I do not want to risk removing the CAT.
If it is simply a matter of a $100 investment and a couple hours of my time I think I will give it a try. If it is going to be more complicated and involved I might just wait.
Thanks, Craig

If you are not getting rid of the cat I see no significant benefit. And after I went with straight piped exhaust and just recently went 4" all the way the egt's still hit the same highs, but they drop a lot quicker after getting off

The down pipe should be available separately from mbrp and probably most other exhaust companies.
