Yea! That is about the cost. I would opt for that. If Jay W. experience
some gains then go for it.
The problem with the JET Chip they still retain the limiter for both RPM and
MPH. If you like speed then try KRC for a new flash. To bad MOPAR cannot
produce the chip.

Subject: DML: Re: RE: Re: RE: Exhaust bottleneck?
interesting...i dont really have the $300+ to spend on the jet chip though
:( (yet :) wonder what adding new exhaust or just a muffler would do to
up that even more?
btw, just got back from a muffler shop. the guy said he could run 3" pipe
(single exit) from the back of the cat with a new magnaflow XL for $300
installed. this would be with aluminized steel...does that sound about
right? and would that be too much pipe for what i plan to use my truck for?
i.e. ---
> You only loose backpressure when applying large exhaust system without
> proper amount of exhaust.
and could someone clear up the "see-thru" vs. non see-thru concept? i have
read that a see-thru really isnt any better than any other turbo style
muffler, just wondering what the performance implications would be...
thanks again steve, you've given me even more to think about :)
