welcome to the 3rd ge dakota forum. As dakkkota asked, are you referring to an exhaust cut-out? Personally I would just make the investment in a good performance exhaust unless you are seriously limited in your noise levels and need to keep your stock exhaust.

I do not see anything wrong with that, but I will warn you that due to the crappy Y-pipe we have the noise is gonna be unbearable, and will POP really horrid due to no back pressure. Now If you did true duals and eliminated the y-pipe I bet it would be cool. I ran just a Y-pipe for over a year and I am glad to have the Magnaflow system installed.
