Catback

Prof said:
Annu, once again you are caught on the horns of a dilemma, due to the lack of a plan, imo.

First you need to decide if you want to do a cat delete or not...deleting the rear cats is not a decision it is indecision. If you are interested in optimizing your performance then do a full cat delete and (I hesitate to say this) add long tube headers, mid pipes and a Magnaflow or if you prefer the Borla.

If you are not going to add headers, then leave the cats in place and add a Magnaflow muffler. You will have the sound and feel you are seeking.

Plan your work, with the end in mind. Covey said begin with the end in mind, I think you have not gone through this initial step...is your truck going to be a runner, a looker, or a lightly modified street machine....if lightly modified street machine is what you want...you will need to decide early on if FI is going to part of your plan...if it is, many decisions will be much clearer. If it is not, you will eliminate some of the complexity, but choices will become more obvious.

Not a lecture, just trying to help you through this process.

Annu, the Prof has offered some very good advice. Decide your long term plans first. Dont spend $2500 for a catback and cat delete......please dont!!!

If you just add the magnaflow I think you will love the tone. It really has great sound.

I was thinking that $2500 sounded high..are you getting a happy ending with that Magnaflow too?..lol
 
Annu,

Find a custom off road muffler shop and have them replace your cats with straight welded together 3inch pipe.... Tell the guy it is strictly for off road, if you must..... (wink at him if it'll make ya feel any better)... Put the cats in a box for smog day.....

Then go out and buy the muffler of your choice..... I don't like an obnoxiously blappy sound, so I like the Borla....and my truck sounds like the Chicago fkn Philharmonic Orchestra.

You'll need to pay 200 bucks ( I think that's right...can't remember) for a set of O2 sims and whatever the cat back system is.

But the total cost should be around $1300-1500.

Don't spend $2500 for this, bro.... It's too much money.
