Default 96 2.5l sport -- full racing exhaust

hi all, I have a 96 dakota sport 2.5l manual and I wanted to get a full racing exhaust system. I'm thinking maybe magnaflow cat-back system. A high flow cat and banks power header. The stock manifold has an o2 sensor connector but the banks manifold does not have it. any one knows what to do with the sensor.

Sorry my bad, stock manifold does not have sensor connector. The downpipe do however have sensor. I pulled off exhaust manifold today and tomorrow it is time to install a new bank power manifold.

nice and mellow with magnaflow. Dual exhaust with stainless tip and stainless muffler.





I've had this truck for many years, It keeps on going. The exhaust not so loud during acceleration just mellow sound. Quite when in idle.

Thank you, it is so much smoother now.
I love the therapeutic sound of magnaflow muffler.

I really like the looks of that system, especially the the tailpipes. Is that custom bent or did you buy if for your truck? I cant find anything on magnaflows site for the gen 1 Dakotas. But again, yours is nice!!

Thanks, I did have a muffler shop to do all the work and yes it is all custom bent.
One thing that the shop does not want to get involved was to install
exhaust manifold, way too much work its gonna cost me alot.
So, I did it myself and drove it 15 miles to the shop.
It was loud but thank God there were no highway patrol around,
and then I got it fixed.
