Just an update, I went with a generic turbo muffler after some discussion with the mechanic who has worked there for 15 years, and the 2.25 pipe. The mechanic I talked to said I would be wasting my money on anything high end (I tend to agree) and that the generic turbo mufflers they have there flow just as well for what I'm looking to do. The truck sounds absolutely great! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> As I expected, no real noticeable power gains, the engine does feel more lively and has better throttle response. I haven't notice any loss of power in the 1800-2000 rpm "dead zone" mentioned earlier. One thing to note though, an unexpected benefit of this better flowing exhaust has been a reduction in engine temp! My temp gauge needle has been sitting noticeable lower. It used to be near half guage and now is only a quarter of the way into the normal op zone! I'm assuming this is because of the backpressure on the exhaust has been decrease, thus heat is exiting the engine through the exhaust better! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> For 127 bucks for the pipe and muffler (I got an insider deal because my uncle is buddies with the owner!) I'm very satisfied! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
