     Jeff, I recently called flowmaster. They stated with minor mods, the
     stock exhaust system is more than adequate when a flowmaster 2 chamber
     muffler is installed. They stated 3" pipe does not have enough
     backpressure and although sounding "meaner" woulsd actually slow you
     down. The concept of single in dual out mufflers is pure show and no
     go. An exhaust system can only be as efficient as its weakest point -
     the 2 into 1 y pipe and cat. Unless you install 2 cats with a true
     dual setup you are gaining nothing but sound and appearance. Joe Borg
