Cat delete pipe?

[Sawboy]

Will a cat delete pipe work on an OE system. I really have no desire to pony up $450 for a full system with the cat and muff delete pipes. So I am thinking to just replace the cat with the test pipe, since the cat is the biggest power hog / heat builder.

That's basically what I did, except I would recommend going ahead and doing the down pipe at the same time. If you go aluminized iinstead of stainless, you can get a down pipe/ cat delete from DPPI for $170 plus shipping. I did install the walker big truck muffler and add a stainless tip later, but all in all, my exhaust is pretty cheap, been really happy with it

the dppi (mbrp) cat delete pipe will fit...not CUTTING required..
remove two bolts (where the cat bolts @ the front) and a clamp
(at the rear of the cat).

shouldnt take more than about 15-20 min your 1st time....

if youre thinking of changing the exhaust i wouldnt go w/ anything
LESS than whats on the truck from the factory...the factory exhaust
system is stainless...

have to agree
the mbrp cat test pipe bolts right in,
made a world of difference in the mpg and seat of pants spool up.
next big restictor is the stock muffler.
