Pauly,
Welcome to Dakota! Yes, we really enjoy the muscle! I have a few mods on
my '95 CC SLT, which is also a 318 V-8 including the Gibson 3" single
exhaust. The first mod, like you, was the K&N FIPK. Secondly came the
Gibson, then the JBA headers. While all have been beneficial, I believe
the Gibson cat-back made the most improvement of the three. Maybe it was
just its place in the sequence, maybe not. But, I'd recommend the Gibson
to anyone with a 318 Dakota. Check the archives for more from others on
the list. Is stainless worth the extra? I went aluminized and am happy.
The 3 1/2" stainless tip is sharp, though. Check around for prices. I
have heard Rosser Bros and Truck PErformance Center offer good prices. I
got mine at a local speed shop for $250.
