I am knowledgeable about engines and cars, but am new to the scene, being
17, I don't have much experience.

If I drop my 5.2 in neutral, then rev it high, when it comes back down to
800rpm (idle) - deceleration - it makes a few loud pops.

I have leach headers, 2.5 inch exhaust, and some other stuff, so its all
nice and flowing, but I wasn't sure why that was, or if a 3 inch exhaust
would help that at all.

I am getting a 3 inch system, after the muff shop installed 2.5 by
mistake... grrr.

Thanks

P.S. - Anyone have any experience with the 'Split Second' Air - Fuel ratio
meter? I really like the layout and LEDs, but am having a hard time reading
the pulses and such, if someone has one, tell me so I can contact you and
ask a question directly. Thanks

: Well i went and did it today... had a 2.5 in cat back installed with a

: Initial impressions: rumble in the seats, little high pitched resonance at
: WOT, and definately much louder at 2K rpm.
:
: It also gives off a good "popping" noise on deceleration...

: I am looking to finish off the rear end with a cuda style roll pan ( a la

: Does anyone have any leads for one? Any GPs in the mix?
