rather than hijacking your thread, I posted a new video on mine, of the sound after the split tip install.

I really don't think it matters that much. Others have said here, that you will not see any performance gains by doing exhaust. I never dynoed it either way. It makes me wonder why Ford downsized that specific pipe, when everywhere else is 3." Design flaw? Or by design? Although, I do believe that the aftermarket cat-back systems are a full 3"

On motorcycles, not enough restriction (i.e. straight pipes) kills your torque, but helps your horsepower. You want some back pressure to maintain your torque numbers. So, I would think that the same applies to our trucks. So far, what I've done, hasn't seemed to adversely effect my tq or power. In fact, my butt-o-meter tells me I may have increased both numbers. But that could be just wishful thinking 'cause I sound so damn good.

Like we both mentioned, it's such a short run of pipe it can't have THAT much effect.

Is there any proven performance gains by doing the mods I've done? The seat of my pants says yes. It sure seems to spin tires a lot easier. Be mindful, I made my mods not expecting any gains. I just wanted a better sound. But my gut says they made a difference. I replaced my stock system of my 2014 R/T Challenger, with Magnaflow mufflers, and definitely saw performance gains by decreasing the time to 60. But I also did a resonator delete on that. I kept the resonator on this truck.
