So Ive got everything planned out, SRT8 long tube header kit with 3" mid pipes. The mid pipes are straight thru with no cats and I believe I will have issues with CELs, so Im ordering Magnaflow high flow cats to weld into mid pipes. Since this kit is made for an SRT8 Ill need a 3" y-pipe which Im also getting from magnaflow, this while allow me to use the current muffler I have. After the muffler there will be a str8 pipe deleting the rear resonator. Not sure when Ill be able to get everything bought and installed, however Ill have the cats and y pipe within the next mth. Let me know what you guys think, especially on running no cats, the SRT8 guys use a tuner to run no cats, not sure I want to run without cats..

My 100% dead honest opinion is that you're doing a lot of work and money for mods that are going to get you minimal to no gains where you want/need them (low RPM) but some decent gains if you were taking your XK down the track. It's going to sound badass for sure.... but man, for an offroad truck you could put that money to much more applicable mods (CV axles, winch, etc).

With that off my chest....

With that said; The only part of your plan I really don't think is worthwhile is the magnaflow cats..... unless you're planning forced induction in the near future (which would be sweet... but then you'll really need upgraded axles! lol)

The total cost for this around $700, no where near CVs 2k. Ill never put a winch on my XK unless its behind the bumper and out of sight. I like a clean looking modded truck. As far as gains/hp, on paper it may not be much but keep in my I have a CAI, will be getting superchips before RC and then these mods. In the future an SRT8 intake manifold, tb, fuel rail and injectors will be going in, making this mod a necessity. Also, my CAI probably never increased my HP on paper, but she definitely accelerates better under normal and WOT conditions, better mpg and waaaaay better sound. If I werent getting the headers so cheap, $550 shipped, I wouldnt do it, high flow cats shipped Im getting for $140 and $35 y pipe.
