2.25 muffler on 2.5 exhaust pipe
I have a 95 Ram 1500 5.9 and my muffler is gone. What could happend if I put a 2.25 muffler on my 2.5 exhaust line temporary. I'm gonna buy a new one in two weeks. Could it damage the engine or something ???
The 2.25 muffler I have is a single inlet dual outlet.
Thanks

you could just put a 2.5" straight pipe there for good, unless you like a quiet truck. the smaller diameter will still let the exhaust through and wouldn't even come close to restricting it enough to do any damage. most parts stores have adapters from 2.5 to 2.25 for a dollar or two each so if you do slap it on then the install shouldn't cost you more than 10$.

let us know if it does help torque at all because i'm thinking about replacing the pipe between my cat and the y pipe (about 3 feet) with a 2.25 pipe to see if it will help with backpressure/scavenging. i have a 2.5" pipe from the cat to a y-pipe and dual 2.5" pipes all the way to the back.
