2003 Chevy S-10 Crew Cab 4.3L Vortec.
This is the only "bolt on" kit that I can find for my truck. store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&Ntt=GIB%2D14433+&N=0&part=GIB%2D14433&autoview=sku&Ntk=KeywordSearch  Should I get it? Why/Why Not? |

Freeing up the exhaust is one of the easiest mods you can make to gain hp.
Go for it... |

I voted NO.
Take your tailpipe off. Take your muffler off. Drive. Besides, you still have your catalytic converter, right? It'll be quiet enough.  On a serious note, I'd say buy it. WIZZO |

No. Any decent exhaust shop can custom up a true dual setup for an S10 with good mufflers and it will make more power than that kit. Try to find a shop with a mandrel bender. Also gut the cat. Cool thing about the 4.3 w/ dual exhaust and no cat is that it sounds a lot like a V8.

Except the yearly inspection and bi-yearly emmisions inspection might tell me to change everything back. |

Big +1 to that, 4.3 V6 is an excellent little V6 with a whole lot of potential. ETA: They do make "free flowing" catalytic converters, however free flowing they really can be.  I don't mess with anything new, converters are not required on the two street driven cars I play with so my experience is nil with the so called performance converters. |

Good high flow converters actually do work very well. They make almost as much power as no cat at all and will pass a sniffer test. Look into random technologies. Stay away from catco. I had one and it was junk.
