I've got a Flo Pro and like it, at some moment's I wish it was a little bit louder but at the same time I like it for being tame. Overall I'm pleased.

I was thinking about putting in a cutout in the old system and putting a cherry bomb or just straight pipe it like you said

We have proved on the dyno that a CB robs HP. Get a good Magnaflow muffler.

yeah but yours sounds good. So you've got straight pipes from the cat?? Is that loud in the cab?? I know I've asked you before but I forgot. I ran straight pipes when I had my Grand Prix and sounded like crap and was loud as poop in the cab.

not that loud in the truck at all because it exits out the back.

my system is true duals that exit straight out the back with no mufflers and 2.5 inch pipe, I noticed a big gain in the butt-o-meter over having it dumped infront of the axle, I think the tailpipes gave me the backpreasure I needed.
