So you have 3in. pipe coming off the y-pipe after the cats and it goes into another y-pipe into 2.5in. duals and you want to cut the y-pipe at the cats off and put in an x-pipe, right? If thats what you are saying then yes it'll make a difference. However; on the NBS trucks you don't really gain too much on an exhaust unless you are running lt headers. Btw, you can get a custom tune for less than the predator and will be a whole lot better.
Just look at the sponsors on the right ------>
