I can't speak to the magnum or v8 engines but I recently put a 2.5 cat back
system on my 89 4x4 Dakota 3.9l. For yuks I fired up the engine with nothing
behind the cat. There was almost no noise increase over the stock system. I
could have saved some money by just going out the side of the truck from the
cat with a piece of pipe.
When I get ambitious I am going to replace the cat with a hi-flow unit.

ps: Check out the new Ford full size trucks. The exhaust exits infront of
the rear wheels.

TeamGTZ (your real name???),
Why are you so adament about going out the back with a custom
exhaust? Are there some regs. about that or are you concerned about
the additional noise a shorter system (exit in front of the right rear tire)
makes? Or is it not enough back-pressure?
I saw a Dak 3.9 with the pipe exiting in front of the RR, but didn't get to
hear it run. Wish I had stopped to talk to the driver.
I have a '92 V-8 Mag and am about to install a 3" cat-back single with a
Terminator muffler. I was thinking of dumping it out in front of the RR.
Is
3" too big for a pipe that short on this motor? Should I go with 2.5"?
The only other mod. is the K&N FIPK.
Thanks,
