get the down pipe. and replace everything from the new pipe back with 4 inch pipe. completely different sounding. then get the 6637 mod. then will decide the best way to spend you money past there. haha

. If the guts of the cat were to....cough, cough, fall out of it and then mysteriously a 3" pipe were welded through the cat, from the opening to the exit, well.....There is no requirements for a muffler unless you don't like the nice low rumble and whistling turbo coming out of the pipe LOL

o man. i live in MI, don't know the emissions rules here and don't care. i love to smoke out every rice burner or chevy i can find. as soon as i bought my truck i cut the muffler right off, straight pipe. its got a mean sound and i personally believe the more a diesel can "breathe" the better it can run. big air intake & no restrictions on exhaust.

No cat = no license plate. We don't have those tests here in MI...for now
I hope you kept the cat, there is talk of emission testing returning to MI.

Well I just change the stock exhaust (3.5") to 4" and when I saw the inside of the muffler I noticed that there is a decrease in diameter inside of the muffler I think to 3", and I supposse that that will afect in some way the flow thru muffler, the new muffler (magnaflow) has exactly the same diameter from front to back all the way
