Is it cheaper to buy mufflers online If so, where should I purchase one?

If you are going to purchase a used muffler, then it will most likely be cheaper to purchase one online from www.craigslist.com. You can also check your local Wal-Mart, and they should have mufflers in their automotive section. If you know exactly what you need, you can purchase a muffler online.

2001 Dakota with a 3.9 engine can you upgrade to a 5.9 or a 4.7 engine?

Sure you can change engines, but the question is, should you? IMO, that answer is NO! If you want a Dakota with a larger engine, then sell this one and purchase a different truck. You will more than likely be money ahead, and avoid all the problems of an engine swap.

How do you affect back pressure in car and two wheeler?

The back-pressure in an automobile is determined by the design of the tailpipe and exhaust system. There should be no obstruction in the tailpipe which results in an increase in engine back-pressure and is harmful to the engine. Custom or after-market mufflers and tail-pipe cores enhance or retard back-pressure, depending on the design and installation personnel and may improve or degenerate engine performance and should be used with care.
