I have used a supper 44 and a cheap raptor from autozone, i will never waist my money on them again, strictly cherry bombs from now on.
I'd like to do do some long tube headers, if I do I will still go into a y, 3" high flow cat, a 12"x3" cherry bomb and then dump it just like it is now.
WHat is this "dump it" you speak of?? LOL

Put a turn down on the end of the pipe and let the exhaust exit under the truck, it's good practice to dump it at least 3' behind the cab, I dumped mine just before the rear end. Just for ascetics some day I'd like to make a bezel and run the exhaust out the passengers bed panel just in front of the wheel.

IMHO, dumping the exhaust makes it sound like crap. Drones very badly and sounds hollow.
I took mine to the stock tailpipe and it sounds great.

Going down the highway I can not hear my muffler at all, its a 12" cherry bomb, no drone whatsoever. With the flowmaster and the raptor muffler I did get droning on the highway, the flowmaster worse than the raptor.

Okay, so the reason I was going with the regular cat to a glasspack to a y pipe is because a local detail shop told me that high flows would be bad for my motor. Is this true??
I talked to a friend today and he said that high flow cats arent harmful to the motor. If that is the case then I want to run true duals. LOL

High-flow cats aren't harmful at all.
However, sometimes they DO blow out far faster than a regular cat since there is less material to hold themeselves in. THAT can be harmful.


True duals are a pain on these trucks since you have 2 02 sensors.
Have fun getting around that.

No, because then the pre-cat thinks only half the engine is running.

^^ You sure about that? I would think one side would work as well, as it only reads the mixures, not the amounts...

OP you could always use H pipes.
