Thank you my friends, I'll go with a cats/H-Pipe/Dual Magnas or Flows set up.

I was just curious, since I know that 94-98's (not sure about 99-04's - never heard any) sounds great without cats, damn pushrods!


Anyways, I appreciate the responses.

Here's a dyno run: http://www.v6john.com/Main/Videos/y_dyno.wmv

Here we are in the parking lot... cats out, resonator and the MRT Aero-Turbine: http://www.v6john.com/Main/Videos/resonator.wmv

Unfortunately the dyno kept losing the tach signal so we couldn't plot the dyno graph based on RPM... we has to graph it based on MPH... but you can see the difference... not a lot of gain at the end of the run... but defintely some nice gain at the lower MPH/RPM... again... I seen my 60' drop from an average of 2.0 down to a 1.86... and I was able to break into the 12's.. runninng a 12.84

Here's the sheet:

Do you know what mufflers? Also, where you able to go for a ride in it? Mine sounds incredible... until you hit 3000 RPM.. then it is this horrible rasp/buzzing... lasts from 3000 to almost 4000 RPM... then it gets better...
