Thanks to everyone for the replies.

Well i've put myself in a bit of a bind here. Since the old exhaust was rotten(nothing from the muffler back) I hastily put a stock exhaust on the truck, just to get it driving. I would like to do the cam and o/s valves while I do the timing chain but that would seem to be a waste of power unless I was willing to remove the stock exhuast I just put on.

I do have the LCE 2.25 exhaust on my 94 pickup. i will have to go back and see if I can order a pipe kit without the performance muffler so I can put on a dynomax or magnaflow muffler which people seem to like.

Would going 2.25 from the cat back be enough? This seems like the easiest solution so as not to waste the newer exhaust already on? I don't plan on adding headers as EB seems pretty fond of the stock exhaust manifold.

Thanks again!!

Jim
