Okay , I removed my rear cats and left the fronts alone and hehehe mannn she sounds bad a$$ now
and it's not bogging nearly as much - I love the sound 
I got about 5 miles and the check engine light came on - Dangit! I'll prolly need to do what you did Joey and eliminate all the stock cats and put a magnaflow high flow on each side.

What !! LOL - Neals didn't last either - think his lasted 8 months or so , something like that.
Geezzz, my exhaust is really looking red-neck - it must have at least 12 muffler clamps on it now

I would really like to keep the system all magnaflow - I took it for another spin - I really like that sound and it's a sh^tload quicker. I have a feeling when I get rid of my forwards and just have the one magnaflow on each side it's going to run better than it ever has.
BTW - I rebooted and the Check Engine Light hasn't come back on, yet . I only drove her about 10 miles since the reboot tho .. The truck feels light and quicker.
I inspected the screens on my forward cats and the rears I took off - there not plugged with anything , but I have say , my exhaust isn't heating up like it was. Usually when I get done driving it clanged and twanged for quite a bit - It hasn't made those noises..

Temple Academy Dragway is a fun place to go to watch all the ricers run their cars. I only went once in my Dakota R/T and it was horrible. I was on street tire and had nowhere to go around the waterbox. After that trip we decided to stick with San Antonio Raceway since the track and facilities were 10x nicer and the track hooked up much better.
