I'm sure that your not even making near 350 FWHP...so the stock resonator/catback/mufflers/Y-Pipe...etc...has been dyno proven to not have any flow issues.
    anything that causes turbulence in the exhaust flow will slow it down. even a gutted cat or glasspack will harm flow. this isn't rocket science Jr. here is a cutaway of a glasspack, every one of those little scoops is going to slow down exhaust flow. i'm not saying our going to lose 25hp from a glasspack, but is will harm performance.


    i understand that the OEM exhaust is "good enough" for 350hp, but a better flowing one will BETTER performance than the stock one. if you honestly think that a more restrictive exhaust is not going to harm performance, your a moron.

    BUT...your missing the entire point...if your not making that kind of power it isn't going to help you...and anyone that thinks it does...is a moron.
