First of all I want to redo my exhaust and have narrowed it down to 2 choices. I either want to put 2 magnaflow's in place of my bullets and leave it duel exhaust or put on my almost new y pipe and a magnaflow catback. What do you all think would be best. Also I have been thinking about getting a volant intake system while tbyrne have them on sale. I currently have a smoked upd but it seems like everytime I take it off for something it gets another crack in the plastic. It is really hard to get on and off the throttle body. I was thinking of the volant because it is the next best looking set up. Give me your ideas on this stuff.

If you have not baught your volant, just go with UPD. It's cheaper and will prabably get you better results.

I'd go w/the y-pipe Magnaflow catback and the Volant. Only reason being, is I have a similar exhaust setup and swapped my upd for a Volant.....seems like the Volant has a bit more punch at part throttle from the 2k-4k range....but it might be all in my head. Overall the Volant is a better made peice and has a flange on the bottom of the box to adapt to an easy ram air setup.

I should mension that the main reason I switched intakes was to be able to put a NX shark nozzle in the tube, and I got my Volant for $250 shipped on ebay.

I currently have the clear smoked upd and really like the intake but everytime I remove it it seems to get more cracks in it. The plastic is very brittle on the clear ones.

I have a Magnaflow X-flow muffler with a true dual exhaust on mine and think it will do better than a single magnaflow. The X-flow has a built in x-pipe and sounds really good. Really makes the truck more responsive throughout the power band, especially lowend.

I was thinking since I already have duel exhaust with a magnaflow x pipe to just go ahead and get 2 magnaflow mufflers and dump them. I currently run 2 18" bullets and they are getting old, I had them dumped and it was so loud inside I couldn't stand it so I had to put tailpipes on it. But a magnaflow catback would just be so simple and the stainless would last for a long time.

I was about to buy the UPD intake but I got to thinking and if I would have got it I wouldn't have been able to use it with my Radix. True, I don't have a Radix yet but I like to think ahead. The Volant intake will work with a Radix (Febuary 2004 truckin' mag page 89). Just thought you would like to know incase a Radix is in your future.
