I'd go with the glass packs but i don't think cherry bomb makes a glass pack that changes in size. Running 3" duals you will lose performance. If you're set on dual you will need to be running 2.5-2.25 out. 3" exit is only effective with single exhaust.

i agree. you need exhaust velocity too. not just flow. and i would go with magnaflow or the cherry bomb vortec. if you really want it as loud as glass packs just put cut-out on there

Besides the fact having no cats is illegal, it also releases toxic emissions into the air.

a cherry bomb or glasspack is no better then having no CAT at all.... and unless you are a tree hugger im pretty sure every guy that drives a V8 truck cares nothing about releasing toxins, otherwise they would be driving a little 4 banger or hybrid electric honda....

Im just saying that if your puting headers onto something, its pointless to keep a CAT in there because u are defeating the purpose of the headers and wasting your money.
