If the ONLY thing you do the the Stang is cutting the mufflers, do you gain or lose hp/tq?

I guess I will try to answer the best I can with only seat of the pants experience. I had done my Poor Mans CAI first which included removing the HC trap & I felt a difference.

I wasn't happy with the stock exhaust sound & looks so I did the muffler delete mod. After that mod the car felt stronger mid range to red line. Plus I got the looks & sound that I wanted & a mpg increase.

So basically with these 2 mods I fell that the car has been uncorked & there is no engine light issues.

If I'm not mistaken I think it was Bryan that had an HP lose after he installed the Flowmaster system. Loving the deletes.

oh it is much louder than stock but in an awesome sounding way!..it purrrrrss on the hwy and downright breaks necks from people turning their heads when I pass by under accel...You can control alot of the sound with the throttle or changing of the gears in case the POLICE roll up with the sound - o - meter

When I took the mufflers off of my 97 GT it turned a lot of heads under WOT and several people said it was the best exhaust they heard....however, the drone got on my nerves after 6 months and the mufflers went back on
