Hi all,
  My name is Tim Hawbaker, I live in south central PA. I am the body shop
manager in the body shop of a 5 star dealership. I have ben a major Shelby
Dodge freek since 1990. Well I gotten burnt out on being pulled around, so I
am looking at being pushed. (Not that running 13.80 in a CSX is boring,
but.... just doesnt have the sound of a v-8)
  So hopefully in the next month or two (waiting to see what DC does with
fiancing) I will be placing an order on a '01 radiant silver R/T extended.
(seen as how they no longer have yellow or amber firemist!! drats!!).
  Here is where the questions start. Will it hurt performance installing the
MP headers and having true 2.5" pipe (no cats)? I have heard different
theorys about the 5.9's needing the back pressure? Any input? I looked for a
FAQ page but had no luck. Along with the exhaust I wanna go K&N. Better to
go with the MP kit or modyfing the 14" round carberated style air cleaner?
(sooner or later I will have a "glass hood)

more questions to come..... count on it! ;-)

thanks in advance,
  Tim Hawbaker
