[/quote) Yep.....I agree as well unless it's an all out performance goal......I'd stick with 2-2 1/2" with some Purple Hornies.....sounded awesome on my sons truck and the whole shoot'n match was 100 bucks out the door plus my labor which is normally an 18 pack of miller lite Rickster

I would have to say a single 3 inch down the right side would be much easier to run and will flow enough for a low rpm 440. If the frame tank is gone then dual 3 inch. Sheldon

Its not a Diesel or a Stepside so no stacks either. Single 3" will actually cost more and I plan on doing it myself. Dual would exit before both rear tires(as it is already) Single 3' would utilize the Factory tailpipe available(have one on my 75 D100)

If so can you post a current pic? I'm hoping to put on coats 3 & 4 on my truck this wknd. 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG

See it can be done....maybe next time ask first how it was done Good Ole Moparts Rickster

I shop around auto parts stores and have found many bargains on returns (mufflers) that typically I can pick up for a song. My point is you can do it very inexpensively if you take your time and do it yourself....I try to do everything myself, I enjoy it....but that's just me. Last set of Welded Turbo 2 1/2" mufflers cost me $15.00 ea.(returns) Auto Zone Rickster
