I want to begin adding mods on to my 97 dakota. I have a K&N Intake and am now thinking of adding an exhaust system of some type. But first i have many questions...

1. What is the best system?
2. What system do you get the best bang for your buck?
3. What is the difference between just adding a muffler and a whole new system?
4. How much HP will be added to my Truck???
5. Is their any welding involved? Can I do it myself?

I apreciate all feedback, thanks alot.

1) there all about the same there may be +-5hp difference in between the best and worst. *cough* Spintech being the best *cough*

2) again many answers

3) whole new system is alot better

4) Full exhaust from headers back I'd say around 20-25

5) yes and no I would suggest welding. Can you do the welding I don't know I 've never done it. When I get my Spintech catback on at the end of this month I'm just going to take it to the muffler shop and have them weld it shut

Nice muffler: I don't know about that maybe 5-10

I would get a high flow cat too with a muffler

How about sound wise??? I assume the new system would be bigger so would you get a deeper sound?

no the muffler usually depends on the sound
