First Truck Need help with Exhaust Decision
#16
Gents, thank you so much for all of the advice. I have the K&N and the throttle body spacer both sitting in my garage. So, after all the advice I'm going to return the spacer and go buy a tuner. After all I've read I think I'm going to go with the hypertech. From what I hear its a little less HP but more tuning options. What do you think?

Borla XR-1
with 500 bucks i would this:
2 Borla XR-1 Mufflers (2.5") - $250 shipped
X Pipe - $50-75 - shipped
2 SS 3.5" tips -$75- 100 shipped
and install would put you around $500.
or you could just do a single 3" Borla Xr-1 muffler and no X pipe and get the high flow converters with the saved money

Thanks guys, love the sound of that XR-1, I think I'm settled on that for the muffler. Now to the next question... Stock on my truck is two CATs that come to a Y before the muffler then a single side exhaust. Am I better off getting two XR-1s and going with dual out the back or keep the Y and put both into one XR-1 and do a single side exhaust. Whats the difference in both performance and sound? Just from a simple mechanical engineering perspective it seems like two mufflers would give the engine more relief and keep the same amount of back pressure; whereas keeping the Y wouldn't really change anything except new metal under there with a different size muffler. Lastly... Either way I go, stock right now is 2.5 I/O... I want to go 3.0 I/0 with a 4.0 tip. Is that ok? Again, I'm not a huge car buff but I am a pilot so back to simple engineering. I know the headers and cat's are doing most of the pressure and relief but I feel like going with a bigger diameter tube from the cats back will help. Let me know what you guys think... Thanks again for all the feedback
