I recently had a shop installed a Magnaflow muffler on my truck. I understand that this 92 5.2L has 3” pipe all the way after the cat.
This 18” Magnaflow has 2.5” S.I/S.O and both offset. The shop put 3” before the muffler and 2.5” pipe after. The owner claimed that the different pipe and muffler size than the OEM won’t change/reduce the truck’s performance. Is that true?
I like the Magnaflow’s mild and distinctive tone. I can't feel any performance difference. But when a shop put in something smaller size than before, I just couldn’t help wondering all the possibilities. I wish I caught it when installing. [sm=redx.gif]
Toyou exhaust experts: please chime in your thoughts. Please tell me whether the size variation haunts the performance, or it’s insignificance to even discuss. Thanks.

my 93 had a 3 inch, then i decided to dual it out and cut the cat. the stupid *** put 2.25 pipes on and i didnt catch it until it was too late, plus they over charged me and took 5 hours to do it. the guy took his lunch break right in the middle of doing the work. i will never go back to that company, there are several of them around town and they are all the same. years later i took my truck to the same place and told them what i wanted and they said it was impossible. drove across town to another place, told them what i wanted and they said they could do it but it would take some time. now i have dual 2.5 adapter from the manifold, then 3inch into magnaflow highflow cats, then into magnaflow mufflers and out the back with those long slant tips. sounds incredible, i get would everytime i drive now. took about 4 hours and $550, but it was well worth it.
