ya thats kinda what i thought too but i thought that would be too simple for me, got side tracked and didnt get to do that yet. one other thing i was looking at was the 2" exaust coming off the manifold and where it bends to a 90 it looks like theres no way all that exaust could go through there. i know that isnt my main problem but would i gain much from putting 2 1/4 exaust on from the manifolds to the mufflers, there is already 2 1/4 from the mufflers back. i knowi'm talking like an idiot who doesnt know anything, but i think i actually dont know as much as i think i do after being on this site for awhile .
