On the Mopar topic. the 2 1.75" exits are more than enough to avoid restrictions. They will flow considerably more than the 2.5" inlet could flow. Honestly you are really making too much of this exhaust thing. There may be a couple HP difference between all the 2.5 systems out there, and that will depend on a lot of environmental factors when you are on the dyno. It is hard to get 2 dyno runs in a row to come back exactly the same, even on the same car with no changes. Just get one you like. Everybody acts like it is such a big deal. It really isn't. I hate saying this but I have been modifying cars since I was 17, like 30 some years, and unless you are building a car for the track, it just isn't that big a deal. You all keep pissin' and moanin' about a couple of HP that you really aren't going to feel anyhow. Mopar has said the 2.5 system is good to 300 HP. Did they just pull this number out of their butts? This is considerably more than 95% of our PT's will ever produce. For the other 5%, I apologize.
