I would also like to see this documented on a truck without a CAT and muffler.
Looks like the Flomaster in your case, deleting the muffler is in your best intrest in terms of economy.

I plan on going to magnaflows highflow cats this summer. I go out of state a couple times a year and dont want a ticket. I'll be doing the highflow cats with dual 14" magnaflows, I believe.

Yea I've been running with no muffler (had flowmaster 40) and been having an average increase in mpgs of about 0.4-0.6 mpgs, not much but I like the sound, I may go back to a glass pack, it cleans up the sound a bit and sounds real aggresive

You know I had gone from a cherry bomb glasspack to the Flowmaster and was actually dissapointed with the sound of the flowmaster, but happy with the performance though, I have never owned a magnaflow, I've heard great things about them!!

The glasspack should be less restricting than the Blowmaster.. I might just do dynomax bullets.

Bullet has no packing, the glasspack has fiberglass packing.
