    So looks like the Trooper exhaust matched up to the muffler without modification then?

    Whats the difference in the Trooper exhaust vs VX exhaust that involves the PCM? O2 sensors?

    I has to do with how the computer reads them. If I used the VX head pipes it would have thrown codes. I spoke with Allen (BigMeatVX) and this is what he was telling me.

    Thats good info, I remember Allan had something about the trooper exhaust in his write up but it was unclear what the issue was. Glad you got in touch with him .

    Yea it matched up nicely. I need to go get a gasket for that juncture. The one I had was too small. I had a couple new gaskets for the manafolds already so I just stuck those in there. An added bonus on project left overs.
