Oh okay, I thought that was strange - my bad..


At least it's welded, You can get your torque back if you replace those cherry poppers w/2 15" Magnaflows..I think there 15's - Maybe Kev will chime in with a pic of his.

But built54's got the setup - I'll take a stab at it joey - $1,400.00 in materials. - I think I added yours up once for mine

That price sounds about right but.....................
I think joey has alot more into his exhaust than that If i remember this
is like his 20th exhaust system
With that exhaust of yours should not really cause a torque loss IMO,those glasspacks are a straight through design so that's good.
I would say it is either the torque management or there is a slight mechanical problem.I recently replaced all of my COP's and my throttle response is great now!!Clean the TB,new COP's and buy a tuner.
Your truck should spin them easily IMO.
I know mine will squeel them without much effort with 3.55LS and 265/70/17 BFG tires.Does your truck spin them on wet roads???I know mine is hard to take off on wet roads without spinning.

Don't yuh hate that when the speedo says your doin 90 and your actually going 35 mph when the roads are wet . I gotta make sure the kickers aren't kicken to loud in the rain or I'll miss the sound of the motor coming to life. Freakin 5fours think they can walk on water .

At least you know what's going on when it's dry . Turn it up !! The front end will come down when it wants to..

Yea, Some of those are wrapped to tight making them to dense to capture anything. He might be alright with all four cats.

Something Interesing.

I got it on the Higway today and decied to see what it woud do around 80 miles an hour and I noticed at around 70 the rpms were around 3k and when I tried to get it to 80 it did not seem to shift out as quickly as I would have expected. Infact I noticed when holding at 70 my rpms stayed around 3k, should it stay there or eventually go down? I'm thinking a full TB cleaning first then see what it runs like then???

Seems high to me. I hover around 2200 RPM at around 75mph on the freeway. I have 3.73LS gears.

I checked my axle code and I have a 19 (3.55 non limited slip) being kind of ignorant on this subject, what exactly does this mean. Is there a good and bad to all this?
Are these codes in order from crappy to great or what?

Thanks

I second that, both my Expy and F-150 have 3.55's and I rev at 2000 rpm @ 70-75 mph. Tranny issue possibly? Is the OD on or off?

damn 70mph and 3000rpm thats like 4.33's or 4.56 gears i think. or the speedo gear is incorrect. best way to find out is get a GPS or run it on a dyno

Exactly what he said, we always called it a one tire fire at the drag strip since youll smoke the one tire and nothing else.
