The larger diameter pipe can only help. Was it a bolt-in swap, or did you have to modify anything? Looks like the front connection with the y-pipe may not be the same.

It was different. I ended up using everything aft of the manifolds and everything fit perfect. All of the hangar spots are the same.

Aside from the sound... did you notice any difference in performance???

Good or bad... I was curious how the smaller engine reacted to the bigger pipe. Can you tell if it lost any torque?

It's hard to say. Maybe a few HP if I had to guess. But it sounds faster haha

Ordered a 9.5" 14 bolt hybrid axle today.

Picked up the new axle today. Here's pics. It's got 3.42 gears vs the 3.08 that I have now so it should pick up a little better acceleration.

Checked operation of the locker and ran a few cans of brake cleaner through it. Sanded off most of the bubbled paint and rust. Fresh coat of rustoleum satin paint and some Lucas 75w90 and I think it's ready to go in. Just have to measure my u joint to see if it needs a different one.

Everything bolted right in. Now I just need to flash a new tune with the correct gear ratio. Didn't have to change U joints or modify anything. Driveshaft moved forward about 3/4 inch or so.

Today I upgraded the halogen spot light bulb to a Whelen LED bulb. Seems brighter and whiter.
Also installed a front/rear driving camera to document idiot drivers haha
