      I have a question. You said your header was designed to work well with the stock exhaust setup. My question is. If you wanted a complete exhaust setup. what would be the best pipe size after the cat to the muffler. I understand that it depends on the application either big pipe for higher rpm volumetric efficiency. or small pipe for low rpm v.e. what would be the best balance of both worlds for a DD? I've been thinking of downsizing my exhaust diameter from 1.75"-1.5" I think stock was 1.25"-1.375. I like low end grunt more than high rpm power should I match the after cat pipe to the size of the header primaries?

        factory festy OD after the cat is 1.5", if you're in the 1.75-1.825 range with a warmed over B3, i'd think you're in the sweet spot.

          I think 1.5 inch would be a little on the small side. If it helps, I am running 2.5 inch from the header to the tail pipe. HP & torque was tremendously higher throughout the RPM range. The lowest I loaded on the engine on the dyno was 2,000 RPM. But granted, my engine is not stock. If you kneel 25' behind the tailpipe, you can eel the exhaust pulses smack you in the face at idle.

            That's awesome. So by that answer my current size is sufficient for stock. But underrated for any modifications I would attain from your products. Thx for the info yet again.

                      Haha, I was thinking...but decided not to go there. Whatever he's doing, if he can do it from 25' away, he deserves recognition.
                      I SURE hope Matt has a sense of humor.

                              Matt this motto is applicable to you and your business: "The bitterness of poor quality and bad service is rememered long after the sweetness of low price if forgotten"

                                Thanks for your compliment, tho I understand your meaning, I think some members take this as a bash. I think a more modern translation of "the quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten" will be better understood for some. I enjoyed our phone conversation yesterday, I look forward to talking with you again & working on your project with you. Thanks.
