Every bit helps!
3" on a 3.7L I think is a waste of time and money IMO
You know what kind of gains i would get? if any at all.Quote:

If you really want a good gain just do a gear swap and install some 3.73's. that will still run you about a grand or more
Honestly, I haven't heard an exhaust on a 6 cylinder that I thought sounded good.... including my 4.0 SOHC ford and 4.0 I6 cherokee. My honest opinion is that performance gains would be minimal, and sound improvement is questionable (I haven't heard a 3.7L WK/XK with exhaust yet).
I know you have other mods planned. SO..... I recommend saving exhaust for last.
Well ive already got a flowmaster 44 and its sounds great, i was just thinking about it and figured yall were the best people to ask these questions to. and ive got alot of mods coming soon in about 6 months and some of the mods do include an intake, tuner and also putting 4.10 gears in the rear end since in only got a 2wd. but thanks for the advise guys.Quote:

alright thanks man
You would probably lose horsepower because of the loss of backpressure
That's my thought. You would lose torque in the low and mid range and quite possibly not gain any HP at the top end.Quote:
