    my brother is gonna buy my 08, 2.7 and i took the DT headers off, but i left the dynomax super turbo muffler on. he wants to know if the headers are worth putting back on he drives like i do, shift at low rpm's nothing more then 2500k. hes mainly looking for low end torque so he doesnt have to take rpm's high. all suggestions welcome. thanks

    Not trying to thread jack but, How did you like that Dynomax super turbo on your 4 cylinder? I have a flowmaster 40 on mine now but was thinking about putting on a Dynomax because I lost some power and mpg with the flowmaster. Not to mention I can't hear myself think inside of the cab.

    Dynomax is a great muffler. Sounds great at idle and when stepping on the accelerator. Great muffler!
