    IMO, a 2.25" is good for a 4 banger. 2.5" for a v6.
    You're not going to notice any low end loss or backpressure issues assuming you still have cats. And 2.5" seemed like it was a lot easier to sleeve over than trying to get a 2.25" to work.

    not to contradict Jason..

    But i have 2.5'' pipe and i think it did change my low end and how the truck drives.

    BUT

    i have a 96..the odd ball years. Only 1 cat and totally odd ecu compared to you...so..could be irrelevant.

    That said, my truck noticed the back pressure change. Plenty. It dies on random occasions coming off high rpms or at startup due to it. Hasn't done it in a while.

    Technically, the piping on there is slightly bigger then 2.25 as its metric and its supposedly "perfect" for the motor in terms of performance and all. I still think opening it up helped overall though and id do it again

    I went from an 18 magnaflow to a new 14 and hated the noise and rumble took it off within a week.

    I am currently running a 24 magnaflow with 2.25 piping all the way back near bumper but tucked under the bed and love it. Its still throaty with wide open throttle but nice and mellow cruising and idle.

    I also am running Doug Thorley headers and 2 brand new C.A.R.B. magnaflow cats with an AEM brute force intake.

    Being in California I am somewhat limited to aftermarket parts.

    Yes. But in terms of definition of cat-back, after the cats.

    Interesting. I didn't have any issues (but also supercharged) before the cats were gutted. Strait pipe to the muffler and it does drop RPM low almost to the point of stalling from time to time in the same situation you mentioned above.

    yea kinda odd. I figure it must be the 1 cat and different ECU thing. :notsure:

    I've had it die on the freeway going 80 after passing someone in 3rd or 4th gear and mid shift to 5th when i popped the clutch out it just died. haha no biggie, fired right up and put it in gear like nothing happened. But it has! haha

    Would probably work. Summit also has butt-connector band clamps if you want to go that route.

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-692225/overview/

    I had to expand the 2.5" pipe a bit to get it to sleeve. I went hillbilly on it though.

    FAI makes a big differents. When boosted you want as little of back preassure as possible.

    Not the case with us poor NA folks..

    I bet sleeping it would work. Seems a bit over complicated but when's it not with you haha

    Cheap and easy. I'd probably try the clamp first for simplicity. Unless you have access to someone with an exhaust pipe expander to make your 4" weldable sleeve butt-connector thingy.

    Got my URD short throw shifter in today! :burnrubber:

    Also ordered a new shifter seat and socket from Marlin to replace while I'm in there.

    And for a follow up on my new fan clutch, my truck is MUCH quieter now. I would recommend this to anyone whose taco sounds like a school. I thought mine was fine but figured I'd replace it to see what happens. And sure enough it's quiet now!:)
