Exploring my options. hoping that opening up the breathing a little more with Intake, LT's, and xpipe with high or no flow cats will reduce the torque loss brought on by the mani. Anyone else have this set up?

I have a buddy that is full bolt on with all the same mods except he has the kooks 1 3/4" headers and x pipe. and he has a dyno tune from the same shop as I'm going to so I should lay down a lil more than he did. His stock dyno was 372 whp and the after results were amazing! His dyno sheet after the mods and tune was 474 max whp! I didn't believe him at first but when I saw his dyno sheet their was no denying his claim. When my work is finished I will post my results for everyone to see. The tune he has is very agressive.

Decreasing the back-pressure always help to keep the torques so that's why I was looking at exhaust setup to go with intake and mani. Have to keep it balanced between a DD and car to take to the track/strip. For now that is...lol
