I haven't "yet", but I'm going to a junk yard to get a spare first. I may not like it so then I could put it back to stock. If you go ahead and do it post a sound clip.

I'm sure it's been ton a ton of times. I was going to do mine, but then I decided to go ahead and buy some headers with an off-road y so there was no need. You can also buy and off-road y pipe from jegs for about $200 if you don't want to have to hack your stock stuff apart and weld it back together.

I would swap in some hi-flows instead and not have to worry about the smog *****

Can anyone verify that the Jegs one fits? I remember people on here talking about it a while back and someone ordering it and had fitment issues, but I could be wrong.

The only issues I have heard of are with the rear o2's, but since there is no need for them without cats it shouldn't be a problem.

It says it does not fit 2000-02 trucks where the pipe has a flat spot in it,guess that I will be searching my local salvage yards! I wonder what the difference is?Has anyone bought one of these for their 2000-02 truck?I already have a flowmaster cat back and think the offroad idea would make it sound bitchin I remember I had a 5.0 mustang with off road pipes and a catback and it sounded like a NASCAR at wot.
