Im not going to argue about which is better, all I know is that after I did the mods to my truck (mainly do to the S&B CAI and catback system) I gain on average 2 mpg, and noticed a big difference in power.

i dont like to argue about it either, if anyone would like to spend a lot more money on a system that will give them minimal amounts of gain due to less restriction, that is their opinion and their choice, i am simply stating that a mandrel system really only makes a NOTICABLE DIFFERENCE on a vehicle that is running some serious motor under the hood, not just a cat back system on a mostly stock v8. its all opinion, im not fighting anyone else so please dont take it that way at all.

alright. i have a few more questions. please don't laugh at me.
I decided on the muffler i want, but I don't understand the offset/inlet configurations.
Which one will i need?
Can I keep my stock exhaust with this muffler?
if I buy it online, there should be a place to install or weld it on for me. right?
I'm also looking into the airaid body throttle spacer. Is the whistling noise that noticeable from it?
thanks.

i have the airaid tb spacer, no whistle at all, and on every vehicle i have seen them on (about 6 different vehicles) there werent any whistling either, so you should be good. as for the exhaust i have the original 40 flowmaster, and with my setup, i have dual pipes out the rear, you want to go 3" inlet, dual 2 1/2 out, but thats what i did, you can choose something different if you want.

Are wanting to just replace the muffler and keep the stocks pipes? If so you may want to just take it to a muffler shop and have them get the right configeration, you just need to tell them what series muffler you want.
