Dynomax Cat back

What type of difference would I notice with a Dynomax Cat Back. Also where would I be able to get on installed and would I have o change anything else out?

yea more/less u will feel more of a difference off the line and the sound factor.....ur MPG will drop since it decreases back pressure!

One of the best things I have done to my car.. If I could put it on all 2.8 V6 f-bodies I would pay for everyone to have one I love mine so much.

CarX, which I believe is a national chain, will lift your car, weld all the goodies, and give it back for a comparably mild $250. Number two on my "things to get done this winter" list.

The Dynamax cat-back was one of the best things I've done to my car. Off the line is much better and the sound is awesome. The gas mileage went UP because I had an exhaust leak before the O2 sensor (replaced the donut gaskets in the exhaust manifold). I had other work done on the car, but I paid around $250 for the exhaust. Hope you enjoy yours.

I have been told that MPG goes UP with a lower restriction exhaust. Supposedly less backpressure aids MPG...anyone else know about this?

I agree with the rest, MPG should go up, because engine efficiency is increased.

I also noticed a big improvmement with my Dynomax Super Turbo catback, part #17493, $160 from Summit.

You can get one put on by doing it yourself, for free. That's how I did both of mine.
