Exhaust Mod
Does anyone have any idea how much HP I would gain if I took a sawzall and cut out the CAT & muffler the replaced them with pieces of straight pipe?
Boy, I bet that would sound good.

If you buy the pipe from jegs and put the sticker on you window, that's good for at least 50hp. But nothing if you don't use the sticker.
Like the guys said, you won't gain much, but is sure does sound good straight piped. But definatly lose the stock downpipe.

There always has to be someone that disagrees! My 3" downpipe with the stock exhaust (no cat or muffer) sounded horrible. When I would pass a truck or cement barrier the sound would bounce back. I hated it and had people asking me what I did to the truck. My Bassani sounds great!

jimkidd,
Whatever you do you must consider replacing the stock down pipe when you do this. If you take a look at our site you'll see what a stock down pipe looks like and you'll see whay it impedes flow so much and causes high EGT's too! We have down pipes available in aluminized and stianless as well as cat test pipes for our down pipe or a stock down pipe. We also have complete MBRP systems that expand to 4.0 inches at 20 inches off of the turbo for MAX flow and HP.

I thought one time I saw a 4 inch downpipe for the 94-97 PSD's, but i forgot who makes it. My next mod is going to be hacking the cat and muffler off but I want to replace the downpipe too. But I would like to find the biggest one possible because i feel that is the most important piece of an exhaust. So does anyone know a manufacturer of a 4 inch downpipe for my truck?
