    I do have true dual exhaust,i mean each bank running independently and never had any issue with "vapors" or such and neither had to move the canister so......
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Thumbs up Magnaflow Muffler/Exhaust

    Custom installation was done today and I love it! Nice sound, nice custom chrome tip, but by far the difference is the power. My Muffler was in bad shape - worse than I knew - I cant believe the difference in the performance. A new exhaust/muffler system should not make that much of a difference - but it did!
    Very happy - and thank you to everyone for your input/advice!

    I was talking to our Isuzu guru Jerry Lemond last summer, who mentioned the strong possibility that our mufflers have a warm-up valve inside. But he couldn't confirm it...nor could this forum.

    If there were one...and it were stuck, it might explain an obstruction severe enough to cause a pronounced improvement.

    Thumbs up sounds good to me

    That would make sense. I cant describe the change in power enough. I have not driven a VX in 10 years - so I dont remember what it should be like - not to say I know now - but I am happy with the difference in power and the sound.
