No, I tow a lot so Dan told me to stick with the 50mm helps maintain low end torque.

Put a good quality exhaust on that truck and you will notice a difference. You are actually losing power with that glasspack. I run a Magna-flow exhaust and I really like it. Not to loud and not to free flowing. Remember these trucks still need back pressure to run properly.

I do not mean to sound rude but I do not think you are getting the point. High Flo does not always mean more HP. Usually high flow will hurt the HP and performance of the truck. Remember if you ask the Vendor(whoever you are trying to buy something from) they are going to tell you what you want to hear. There going to give you all of these numbers and make it sound great. Statistics can be made to say whatever they want them to say. That is what my Statistics teacher taught me. Keep in mind that they have there best interest in mind and not yours. They just want your money. Do a little research and I would suggest a regular cat with a good cat back system. I cannot tell you which exhaust to buy because everyone has there preference. Do the research and you will be happy with whatever you buy and remember you get what you pay for.
