My pipe to the catalytic converter rusted out. I had a new AP 2 1/4" one lying around in my garage and decided to try it. The muffler guy (pipe artist) did a great job of bending up some new pipes. I am now running a 2 1/4" inlet from the dual headpipe, 2 1/4" converter, 2" pipe to the 260 Diesel muffler, no resonator and a 2 1/8" tailpipe with a chrome tip. It doesn't seem like much, but there is improved power. It may also be the fact that the old converter was over 20 years old and falling apart. It has a more buzzy sound to it, but I'm happy with it anyway.
