I don't have the cash for a full exhaust right now, so I was wanting to do 1-5/8 LT's and then a cutout. But with the cutout is capped, will I notice the power difference?

Also, can I keep the cat with LT's or do I have to ditch it?

And lastly, I would like 3" from the headers to the flowmaster muffler, but the inlet is 2.25", so would I have to get a 3" flowmaster or would the 2.25" Flowmaster work and I could get the 3-incher later?

 

Well you can pretty much do whatever you want. If you are getting LT's you are gonna most likely have to go to an exhaust shop that will fab up a pipe or two. Or at least weld your old pipes to the new ones. While you are there you can have them do whatever you want. It is all up to you. You can keep that muffler if YOU really want to. Nothing bad is gonna happen to the car. Just less power.

When it comes to pipes, it really depends what you want to pay for. If you want a bolt in system that you can put in yourslef (assuming you can't weld) then that is a different story.

Is that what you ment???
