Stock muffler is like a plug!

I put a 51" Nelson on today and really like the sound. A little louder than stock but very pleasant. I drove a couple miles to check it out and the egt has dropped a bunch but it still runs wimpy. I looked down the stock muffler before I tossed it and was surprised to see it's choked down to 3", about 6" in from each end. No wonder it screeched like a jet when towing! I increased to 4" from the muffler up to the joint by the trans crossmember. Is there any advantage to go to 4" all the way to the turbo if I only do < 100 hp in mods? Craig

For 100 extra horse power and less i think its wasted money. You wont see that much change from what you have now.
