Exhaust Important ???
I had a new exhaust installed recently , but went a non stock set up.
Truck had the factory single muffler/converter set up with dual pipes together
exiting on the passenger side.
I went to the old style dual glass packs with pipes running out both sides behind each wheel. Converter was removed (don't tell the government)
Will this cause an problems with truck ??
Have heard stories that one should stick with original exhaust !!

Well, I feel a little better.
I had heard stories, that if you went away from stock exhausts that it would cause the engine to run hot or even run bad......guess they were just stories.

Those are stories cooked up by the Al Gores of this world. Or by people like bearriver who just want to sell you their products...
Now that your engine is exhaling better Id sujest improving the intake side of things to really notice a big difference in throttle responce. A simple high flow element from K&N combined with a performance exhaust is enough to put a smile on your face when compared to driving a stock truck

I absolutly agree, to much time spent buildin musclecars and truck, i think that chambered mufflers sound to tinny! Give me glasspacks or give me straightpipes!
Is there any better sound than burned out glasspacks lightin it up when the red lights change?

Being it's an 88 you need to keep your mods toned down a bit...the SD is more sensitive to mods.By mods I'm talking about cams heads so on and so forth...If you're gonna get a better intake......just get a drop in Filter not a cone......the so-called FIPK cold air kit isn't sucking cold air if it's sucking engine air....just get a good drop in......and get the 300-6 or 460 air horn from the airbox to the core support...it'll help you get colder air into your engine.Luck and happy holidays.
