mines got shorty headers to the stock cat to a y pipe to the dual tips. i went the cheap route and chopped off my flowmaster and used a y pipe that matched up to the flowmaster so my tips would still be in the same spot.

also i can't figure out how to embed videos so heres a link.

ive got flowmaster 40 on mine and it sounds bad *ss. although i did just take my cat off and it is so loud i cant hear anything else goin on around me. im thinkin bout running a straight pipe to my muffler and see how that sounds. but maybe its just me, think the flowmaster sounds b**chin.

hey thanks for the replies and opinions. im still not completly sure my exhaust is clogged. i mean it doesnt sound clogged....and i put my hands over the pipes and it seems to have a pretty good flow. but i still dont think the power and acceleration is where it is supposed to be. i mean, i had a v6 dakota 3.9l and it had more acceleration and power than my truck now. it seems like i have to push it all the way to the floor when getting on or off the interstate.i think im going to replace the thrush glasspack with a super 44 and a magnaflow cat. anyway..oh, and also there is a noise i can hear up in the dash somewhere, that sounds like air...it does it at idle and when accelerating a little bit. not so sure what it is, but its pretty noticable. anyway.....thanks for the info guys

that noise that you hear up front could be your intake sucking for air...it just sounds to me like your entire system needs to be opened up so it can breathe lol.
