str86diesel Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 You also threw off your A/F ratio since more air is flowing..so I'd at least have that checked out so that you don't run too lean. Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD
hammerdown Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 i have done the same to my durango and the torgue went up and the gas mileage was a lot better i could put in in went from 14 to 18 to the gallon by doing this u take away a lot of back pressure off the engine and it breaths a lot better i have passed all smog inspections as long as the Cat. is still there and the O2 sensors are good you have no problems in that area Quote
treossi Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 depends on what state you're in, in california, it would obviously fail the visual inspection, yes we have to do visuals, some shady smog stations don't though, depends on where you go Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
