I did too,when i replaced my factory muffler,but i didnt lose that much.I
really like what the Dynomax does for my Dakota.
If you go the route of taking off the stock muffler,DONT throw it away..it
is Stainless Steel! (i am saving mine)
ALso,the Dynomax Super Turbo,has a Lifetime Warranty.
You also should get rid of the restrictive air box.Put on a K&N system,or a
"Home Brew" Intake kit like i did
