Big improvement...but that was painfully obvious if you saw the old exhaust system. For some reason half the stuff under the truck is painted day glow orange. So a $.99 can of black we'll make me feel a little better about myself when driving down the road. As far as performance...the motor runs smoother and spools up quicker. I didn't notice any real noise increase either. It's not a ten second car or anything but it the fastest toyota truck I've ever driven. What do you want for less than a $1000 for the total project including the cost of the truck? I have new wires, a cap and rotor on the way so after that hopefully it will be good to go.

By the head pipe I mean the one from the manifold to where the cat was suppose to go. The exhaust guy new that I was trying to do away with the cat so he wouldn't make the pipe any bigger than the one I brought in. So I bought a 3ft section a pipe and told him that it would be used for the tailpipe. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> He just shook his head b/c he new what I was up to. No more cat...the pipe is pretty much straight all the way to the muffler.
