Default Worth the money to switch???

I currently have FLP LTs with cats through and Dual/Dual. Should I sale this setup and get some 1 7/8 headers or just keep the FLPs and have a FM merge in the y-pipe(no cats) and go with a 4" mufflex with magnaflow. Car has Cam, FAST 92/NW 92, and just basic bolt ons. Heads are coming hopefully spring or summer next year. Thanks for your time.

Flp's are great headers and the larger dia pipes really only help if u go big cubes with heads and cam and even up there its only worth abt 10hp. I'd keep what u got.

Ok, that is good for my wallet then. How much do you think I would gain by getting a FM merge in the y-pipe with no cats and going to the mufflex setup? Thanks for the quick responses.

I would keep what you have. You prob won't gain much if any power at all.

That dual dual is nice and quiet and flows extremely well
