Bob,
Thanks, just got back from having them welded at the Y pipe. No rough idle
and feels stronger. In fact, a friend just got a rc R/T and we each drove
each other's truck. He felt that mine was peppier, tho his is not broken
in, which makes a big difference.
Feel it was worth it and will give a G-tech run this weekend.
Thanks for the answers!
