Bang for the Buck
From all that we've learned over the past year and a half, it seems to me the best option now would be a Kleeman Tune with a straight-pipe; manifold to resonators. (Leaving in the resonator)
Observations based on the following:
1.) Kleeman tune; proven results, good value/reputation
2.) Removing 4 cats will obviously increase flow (which would account for a great deal of the gains seen from long tube headers)
3.) Removing the 4 cats will NOT throw a CEL if you have a Kleeman tune
4.) Consensus from the folks here is to leave the resonator in
5.) The straight-pipe would be a direct bolt in.
Can anyone confirm #5? Obviously the exhaust will un-bolt at the manifold but does it also un-bolt before going into the resonator?
If this is a completely bolt-in scenario, I would think there would be a great deal of interest. Does anyone offer this or would I need to get this custom made?
Thanks
