Thanks Calvin

when I had the original stock motor, and I did the 3" true dual X setup, I gained HP and TQ according to the dyno sheets. Just looked at my old sheets and it increased my HP/TQ in the lower RPM as well as higher RPM when I switched.

have you checked real good for exhaust leaks?

maybe you shouldn't have gotten 3". kinda overkill. sounds good, but you will lose some lower end torque from the bigger exhaust. i went to a 2.5 x-pipe and I felt a bit more torque, i was getting gear scratches out of my stock auto.

2.5" sounds a bit smoother as well. 3" starts to get a little raspy. but to each their own.
