Yeah, Dynomax exhaust and TB spacer. It was cheap and machined out to get rid of the whislting, so I bought it. I've noticed some gain on the highway, but nothing major. The amount of air entering through the throttle body is still lacking, thus the upcoming swap to a 4.0 TB. Don't know why Chryco decided to choke the 2.5 of much needed air. Emissions?

People in the accounting office probably saved a half cent with the smaller TB.
Exhaust will probably net you more usable HP than anything you can do cheaply.

He is running around so he is fine.
