My 88 has a set of Pacesetter headers bolted up to a 2½" custom y-pipe into
a 3" hi-flow Cat, then 3" Flowmaster 3 chamber with 2 2½" outlets straight
out the back. I have often gotten comments from people stating that is
sounds like a V8. Mike is correct though, 3" is a bit to open for a 3.9 and
you will loose some low end torque. Another thing to remember is the tone
will deepen over time. What it sounds like the day after you install it is
not how it sounds 3 months later.

>>Yeah, but will it work for older Gen I Dakotas? I need some ideas on the
exhaust system to put on my Dakota, ie., To use 3" tubing, or to use 2.5"
tubing. to use headers, or not, to use Cross Pipe, or not,
Glasspacks,(UGGGHH!!) or Thrush, Dynomax, Borla, etc, etc. I could really
use input from anyone ho has redone the exhaust on their Gen I Dakota...<<
I'm sure you're tired of hearing from me =)
don't go above 2.5" pipe, you'll lose power. I have a Borla and I love it. I
had a Blowmaster, but got rid of it cuz' it was too loud and too ricey for
me.
