OK, I have stock exhaust with a magnaflo its ok but I just put the k&n intake on and now when I get on it all I hear is it sucking air and almost like I lost power since I put it on, maybe theres something else wrong but I thought I would do the exhaust first.

I have a muffler shop that will do whatever I want. I get like 12mpg now so I dont think it could get much worse lol If I do headers he said get the long pipe headers, cut the cats out and do true duals the whole way back with magnaflos. I was reading some other threads the e-cutout seems cool also.
He also said my check engine light might come on but I have a diablo predator that he said I could get an off road tune put in it to take care of that.
So I guess Im just looking for some input? Pros and Cons? Will this work? Im sure it will sound good and loud
Any input would be greatly appreciated.:smileup:

Well the MPG may and can get worse.

Ok after doing some more reading maybe Ill do the long tube headers and leave the cats after the Y do a e-cutout then muffler and dual after muffler? any suggestions out there?

 

[chefred112]

make sure you do an aftermarket Y as the stock why is basically a pinched pipe...

 

[chefred112]

or do what i did..run 'true duals' to H pipe (where the Y would have been) to dual cutouts, to a dual in/single out muffler...

Good stuff thanks Chefred, did you leave the cats? and any reason you didnt do dual out of muffler? I guess that would be more for looks and If it were duals the whole way back it would prob sound the same and you would need another muffler right?

 

[chefred112]

my theory about not going dual out was to retain a little restriction for effective scavenging (so i wouldn't lose low end torque).... and to a certain extent is true as I run quicker with my cutouts closed than open, I only open the cutouts on nitrous runs an/or showing off..if I'm street racing i keep them closed... I am catless for the most part (cats are gutted)...but i do have a set of flanged cats that I can swap in for emissions testing..

 

[chefred112]

it isn't coincidence that 2 other rams local to me have cloned my exhaust (2 into 1) and are 2nd an 3rd quickest at the track whenever our big group goes drag racing...

That's awesome, hey if it works why not. So since you basically don't have cats did your check engine light come on? Guess I can find out about my programmer, and would it help any to do any two and a half inch pipe or three inch all the way?
