Hmm..im not so worried about the muffler Andy because the way my car sounds now is amazing i think ill do that once i get the headers done and the primary cats because i know it will be extremely loud then.. but what im curious about is,,running a dual from the primary instead of single splitting into two will i loose any power or gain, and also since i will be changing out the piping since its loose and rusty should i stay with the 2.5" all around or move it up a notch to 2.75 or 3" i dont know the affect it will have on the power i deff dont want to loose any

yea your prob right Andy dyno would be the only way to go,,, yea power gains are minimal just a lil from removing cats and mufflers and resonators because of back pressure. hopefully that one day will come soon for the big power because everytime i try to save something else that needs to be changed comes up, bought my third set of wheels in the last year cause it cracked again tire blew out last night, belt ripped of needed to get tensioner changed radiator changed brakes all around changed brake lines changed controls arms tie rods and inner tie rods few days ago and now i have some unknown knock from the back and nobody can figure it out...all in all i coulda had some major mods done for power if not for all these little things popping up .. :/ wish i coulda trade it in for a 55 without loosing an excessive amount of$$

hey whatusp man which meineke did you goto the one on stillwell ave? cause thats where i did mine but you know one thing i didn like because i left my car there and i came back and they did my piping the same way they did yours i was thinking of doing more of dual straight pipes instead of one pipe after the y pipe then split again does the make us loose power as opposed to the dual setup all the way from from to back >---< thats how the pipe looks now im thinking more like this >====< ...and also my welding is coming of i was thinking of redoing the piping getting all aluminum clean pipes.. what do you guys think should i stay with the 2.5 inch piping or maybe goto 2.75 or 3 or would that result in a loss of power ?
