HELP, Im new

I just got me a early 1999 PSD. It is stock and I want to put a 4" downpipe on it. I have been told that I will have to alter my fire wall to get it to fit, does anybody know if this is true. Thanks

No modifications are needed for a 4" down pipe. The early99 and the late99-03 exhaust is all the same. Two hours tops when you do the first one, It takes me less than an hour to do one now.

A sawzall will be needed to get the stock down pipe out. Watch out for the dipstick tube, don't ask.

Some will say that with the 4" down pipe you will loose some low end power some will say that is false. I don not know if it us true or not but that is what I have read.

Maybe someone will have some data to share.

Keep Strokin'
