Just some pics of my 3" Catback Custom Exhaust...Sans Muffler:
Sounds great and seems to work great also...nothing hanging down either. Not great quality but you get the idea http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/3488050 ... 8551266747 |

I liked it when I saw it - the extended length before the turn-down helps prevent sooting-up the bumper and tailgate BTW - was that a local muffler shop job? |

A good Speed Shop here that used to do work for me. Total Cost with pipe (FlowMaster piping/bends) and welding...$200.00. It definitely sounds better than stock...just a tad deeper and not really noticeable on the highway...but don't quote me on that |

Mine is exactly like this but I think it's 2.5". The guys at Midas did it for $60... go figure. It is louder at idle but once you're up to speed you don't notice. |

Mine has no muffler at all...the previous was 2.25"/2.5" with Cherry Bomb Glasspack. It sounded ok but I lost mpg/power. |

You can hear the turbo spool ... midrange feels much stronger ... highway mileage at 65mph (GPS) is 30+ ... City Stop n' Go has been averaging 22+ (and I am lifted with some skids-but they are lightweight aluminum) I have been paying close atttention to my driving habits...added AirTabs on the back of the CRD...made a grill block and air scoop/catch...3" of course...and today I removed my rear seat all together (should help a bit in Stop n' Go. I do want to make a front air dam that extends down 4-5" and covers the front tires better...and make it easy to remove but look good. |
