Dream2 exhaust
#3
I recently installed Dream 2 on my 2008 CS. Very slight, but nice drop in exhaust tone. Really like the look! Mine is a DD and I did NOT want a big increase in exhaust sound level, so I'm happy with the results.
Engine seems to rev a little quicker, have a couple more HP. If I keep my foot out of it I get an increased of around 1/2 to 1 miles per gallon; both city and highway. If I don't keep my foot out of it, well...
Installation instructions specifies removal of one of the OEM mufflers, and this is how I installed mine. Like most, when I separated exhaust pipe from flange at converter I broke studs. Ended up having to drop manifold to remove all 3 studs, then replaced with SS bolts, nuts, and lock washers. I did not replace metal gaskets at header or flange; no problems and its been a coupe of months now. In hind sight I wonder now if you could get enough flex in the piping to spread the mufflers w/o separating one flange; maybe if you had access to a port-a-power or similar.
