 Subject: Cat-back or just the muffler?
IP: Logged
Message:
I plan on purchasing a Dynomax Super Turbo this next week but don't know if I should just get the muffler or if I should get the whole cat back system? What would you guys recommend? Are there pipes better than the factory ones or will they factory ones do just fine?

The factory pipes are very good. I don't see any advantage to replacing them. If you want a better sound, just replace the muffler.

I think there is a little to gain from doing some exhaust work. I replaced my stock exhaust with a magnaflow 14256 and bought a universal tailpipe from flow master. I kept the stock 2.5 size. I had my local midas shop weld it all together. They knew i was performance minded and did a great job. The labor and parts cost me 215 all together. The labor at the shop was only $40. I feel like a gained just a little in the mid RPM's. My gas mileage also improved by 1 mpg. Next i am going to replace the restrictive Y pipe and take off the third cat. Yes i know that this is illegal. Then i'll buy some slip on stainless pipes and run a Y from the precats to the front of the new muffler replacing the bend over my transfer case support. I think the mendral bent pipes will make a noticable difference over the stock press bent pipes.

Don't bother with the pipes unless you're going to a larger size. I went from stock exhaust to 3" single with a flowmaster 40 series 1 in 1 out and no cat. The performance gain was noticeable and it sounded better than any mustang on the road, until jack daniels ran me off the road.

Ok I decided to just buy the muffler after everyones feedback. But now I don't know which I want to get. The Super Turbo or the Ultra flow? Who has used these on their trucks? I like the sound of the Ultra Flow but I don't really want something that is really loud. Is it as loud as a Flowmaster 40 series?
