So what performance exhaust upgrades are avalable for the CRD? Who sells them? Are they worth it? |

Bolt on kits do nothing to get rid of the 2 1/8" restriction behind the cat. If you opt for the bolt on kit, you still need to deal with the choke flange. Find a good welder or exhaust shop who can weld stainless. Cut out the stock muffler and go with a 2 1/2" SS Magnaflow or 304 SS straight pipe if you live in the salt belt. 2 1/2" Flowmaster or a glass pack is OK elsewhere. Then have the choke flange opened up or eliminated, its like neutralizing a Terrorist, there are lots a ways to do it right as long as you do it. Good luck |

Not sure about Magnaflow or the others, but Dynomax offers a complete kit (high flow muffler, tailpipe, adapter) that also eliminates the neck down restriction after the Cat. It is a 2.5" system all the way thru. I have seen these complete sytems listed for around $235 and Dynomax now has a $75 rebate offer on cat back systems good until the end of August. That being said, I just cut off the cat and installed pipe in place of it and also installed a 2.5 flow thru muffler and new tailpipe. But then, there is no emissions testing done in Iowa. |

We have no emissions here either. Maybe I'll have to just amputate. I'll have to do some research to see who sells the Dynomax kit |

I think Napa and the other parts stores either have them or can get them pretty quick. I think the best price was at the Summit Racing site http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-19392/ though you may be able to do better elsewhere. |

I have to update my previous post regarding the Dynomax kits. The replacement adapter also necks down after the cat then opens back to 2.5". Took a look at one today. So, the best thing I could suggest would be using just the muffler and tailpipe from the kit, if you bought one. Then do similar to me in that I just cut off the cat and put in a 2.5" pipe in its place straight back to the muffler. |

I just swapped my exhaust for full cherry bomb kit and all i have to say is wow. Sounds like i got a baby V-8 under the hood. I have a nice low rumble at idle and a really nice rumble  when taking off then it drops to about the stock tone. Only had it on a day but so far i am loving it. Ready to see how my MPGs look next fill up.
