> [@MikeRi24](#): > > im going to see what it sounds like with the new high flow cat and bigger downpipes. i thought that the dumps would help out the top end power a little bit because the exhaust is holding it back. If you do cams and rockers, yes, then your exhaust becomes the main restriction. As it is right now, no, you don’t. Headers and hi flo cat will make a huge difference. Ricer. ---

> [@Daddie](#): > > Fucking ricer… I’m sure your car is loud enough currently as it doesn’t have a real muffler… His truck is very quite. It has something like 1-7/8 exhaust pipes going into a 2.5 at the rear. Super restrictive for 360 cubes. I have told him a bunch of times that exhaust would really wake that thing up. Headers, to a full 3 inch true dual would sound very nice too. The exhaust you have now is way to restrictive. Cut-Outs would just be dancing around the problem. ---

i think dumps are gay, just build a real exhaust, with a manly muffler. ---

(not too large, just right). my exhaust goes as follows: shorty headers (no clue what diameter they are) –\> 1 7/8" pipe off each header –\> cat –\> 2 1/2" pipe to Magnaflow Magnapack –\> 2 1/2" Y-pipe –\> 2 1/2" tails over winter i am getting a peice that Magnaflow makes that is 2 1/2" downpipes into a high flow cat. ---
