Hiya Sid, list;
it turns out that the 'free' Flowmaster I thought was in inventory has gone
on to parts unknown; so anyone waiting to hear about the installation, you
gonna hafta keep waiting;-)
I'll put off the new exhaust for the time being. I would still like to hear
recommendations about 2" versus 2.25"; as well as muffler placement under
the floor versus behind the axle. Personal experience is that moving the
muffler forward (IOW, a longer tailpipe) reduces noise notably, but I don't
know about performance differences. Also, looking at the U20 from a spec's
standpoint, it seems like 2.25" would be a better choice than 2".
I too would be interested in knowing the dimensions of the factory 2L tip,
so a reasonably similar replacement can be fitted. To add to Sid's request -
a measurement of how far the tip should stick out the back would be helpful.
Thanks gang!
