I'm sorry, this is probably one of the most ignorant statements I've seen on this forum.
There is no need to go swapping out exhaust manifolds and deleting cats if you're pulling in the same amount of air.... Upgrading your exhaust is going to do next to nothing unless you increase the amount of air coming through. And why would you even suggest that NOT giving the engine more air is a good idea? More air = colder air, I fail to see the negatives here...
here's what I suggest, which has been a proven starting method for 3rd gen V8's
1) Intake (K&N is your best option here)
2) new exhaust (Gibson cat-back, magnaflow, or custom cat back featuring Flow 40's)
3) custom tune (James Henson to the rescue...)
And actually, MOST restriction in stock vehicles are the conservative factory tunes and the very restrictive intakes.
lol thank you for saying that i was trying to be a bit more polite but yes ur absolutely correct....str8 ignorant lol
