So,
My truck came with a muffler delete when I bought it, factory manifolds and cats were present. Was not a huge fan of the pops when down shifting. Installed a flowmaster dual in/out. Definitely tamed the sound and made it deep, not bad sounding, but took the viper feel away and I definitely felt a small power loss, especially up top. Was shocked at how hot this muffler got as well and how all the paint came off and it turned like rainbow titanium color.
So 9 months later, I want to viper it up a little. Not wanting to spend $4-5k either.
Considered side exhaust, but just will not drill frame or body.
I chose to order JMB catless manifold back 3" pipes.
From there I have options;
-3" x pipe followed by 3" individual 4or5" diameter 14or18" magnaflow straight through mufflers
Or
-3" dual in/out xpipe core magnaflow 5x11 muffler with custom tailpipes and tips
Or
-3" dual in/2.5" dual out xpipe core magnaflow 5x11 muffler with Factory tailpipes and tips
I am just looking for someone with experience on cat removal and playing with xpipe and mufflers, I do not want this to sound like crap or too ricey......
I have been all over youtube fyi....
Thanks for any help or advice,
Rob
