Exhaust

    Back in October of last year I added a way to get more air to the filter in my mini truck. I was pleased with the results but after driving it I noticed (at least I think ha ha ) it sounded like too much pressure from the tail pipe exhaust. I had already replaced the muffler and tailpipe previously (because of noise from the muffler) so I decided to replace the tail pipe from the exhaust tip of the muffler back. Now in most mini trucks here the tail pipe from the muffler tip is reduced to 1". I removed the tail pipe from the muffler tip(which is 1 and 1/4) and replaced the tail pipe with 1 and 1/4". There is a remarkable difference in the sound of the truck and in the performance. I am happy with the results and this could give you some more power without spending a fortune.

    I recently did the exact same thing with the tail pipe. 1 1/4" from the muffler to rear of bed. Haven't got to run it yet. Still got other things to do. Radiator, steering bushing, cv boot, cv joint, ac and on and on. This one is gonna be a money pit. BUT it will be nice when its finished.

    Check out a post I made several months ago about removing the honey comb looking filter in the catalytic converter and replacing the muffler and tailpipe. After the work you apparently are doing it would be helpful for your truck also.
    Hope this helps. :sly:

    Not only did I take out the catalytic converter I replaced the muffler and several months later I replaced the tailpipe with one larger, I also added an extra air vent to my air filter canister to improve airflow.
    It worked for me.For you maybe not so....:confused::confused:
