Exhaust Results
Well i still have to get my dad's laptop sometime to get the sound clips. I haven't forgot.
I had to go to pick up a part for my mom's truck on monday(she hit a deer) so i volunteered to help my parents out and go pick it up.
Well the truck sounds like a Straitpiped semi. All last year i averaged 12-14mpg. This week i drove 155 miles including the 100 to go get the part. I averaged 19.6mpg. doing between 50-55mph 55@2500RPM
19.6mpg
OH ya.

doubt it. I was stunned when i filled it up today and it only took around 8 gallons. My gas guage is messed up below 3/4.
Hope your not being sarcastic. But i do notice a more low end. The muffler blew a hole in it one day on my way to school. So i guess it was restictive.

It didn't have a cat there was a 2 1/4" piece of pipe inplace of the cat. I hooked it up to that using a 2 1/4" -2.5" adapter and made a 2.5"-3" adapter. i have some pictures in my gallery of the exhaust installed and the adapter.

Well thanks.
The only welding i had to do was for the adapter and hangers . If you want i can give you instructions on how i made the adapter.
It does come out infront of the rear tire. I still have to get a 5" tip for it.
If you have any questions let me know. I'll be more than glad to help you out.
