Subject: Loss of Torqe on Catback?
IP: Logged

Message:
I have a 2001 Motorsports Edition Dak Club Cab, and want to throw a cat back on. Thinking maybe Gibson. But, I have read about them, and hear that you loose torqe on the low end of the tach. I enjoy chirping my tires when at a light with a ricer, with the decals all over them and the 4 foot wing on the back, and then just taking off and leaving them in the dust. Anyway, I know with the split rear atleast, you gain alot on the higer end of the tach at higher speeds. But, I was thinking about maybe the single side exhaust. But if anyone has any suggestions, id appreciate it. I dont really wanna modify it too much. Just throw a cat back on and an intake. So if anyone has any suggestions, id appreciate it! thanks

I've got a Gibson stainless swept-side cat-back on my QC, and can say that it was nothing but an improvement over the stock exhaust. Better performance, better sound.

Spend the money and get the MBRP set up. I have the 4.7 5-speed and the MBRP increased my bottom end as well as the top.
