I thought @ 1st about these Flows adding some. You couldn't have been talking about those. I can't really see changes now. Hope I dont feel a difference? Guess I'll jot that down to remember, too. Thanks!!

Nah the flows add power, still got mufflers on em just resonatpr style muffs if i remember right?? But if u go just pipe then i believe thts when u lose some power. Idk if youll notice tho

My guy's real busy this morning. I was afraid I couldn't get out by time I needed to. He'll get to it tom. Also forgot I now have a warranty! Asked cousin that works @ Ford, says I better run some kind of muffler. My mech says he'll try a glasspack of a thing. Should affect sound @ all, just looks legal. Tell you tomorrow!!

I have 4 cats & 2 resonators before mufflers. Right?

Nice
And idk for sure bout the cats and resonators. Might wanna ask one of the guys who has a 2010+
I still need to upgrade from my 02(:

eliyarbrough

I kinda know that's what it has. Just used to thinking wrongly.

klisetron

No 2 cats, 2 resonators, 2 mufflers. In that order from the manifold back. At least that's a stock setup.

eliyarbrough

I can find this post if I need to. I was told on here: only has 2 cats on these cars, 4 mufflers, two in the rear and 2 resonators in the middle.

I got my #'s mixed up!

Not saying you're wrong, just what I was told on here. I have no idea!!! Thanks!

wonger

You're saying the same thing I think. There are two cats. Two resonators. Two mufflers.

eliyarbrough

See, I don't even know that!!

Yea the 2-2-2 numbers r what i was thinking as well because thats all u rlly need right? Sinve theres just two pipes

klisetron

Yep. Trust me I just took off the 2 resonators and 2 mufflers from my setup. Straight pipes baby!

eliyarbrough

I'll know soon. How many times/days have I said that?

eliyarbrough

He just unbolted them. I could tell no change @ all. That's a normal thing. Then I revved it up so he could listen. He didn't see much diff, too. After he gassed it again, I could see w/Flows on it sounded tamer? W/o, slightly more oomph? To me it sounded better w/o.

Bobby had those glasspacks in 2", he has to order 2.5". Now to next Wed.

klisetron

Right on, that's similar to what I noticed, more of a mean sound and slightly better throttle response. Not sure about overall power gain or loss. The butt dyno likes it though.

eliyarbrough

Sorry, after now he un-bolted those FM's not sure what this means. Is straight pipe nothing; no cats, muffs, or resonators? Want to maybe do this when warranty's over? Sorry it took til now to get this question.

That friend's Mustang's exhaust I don't like has nothing. I just don't want that sound. Diff motor than his, have a video of yours?

eliyarbrough

I'm not doing this! After buying what I'd need, cost me sbout $200. He only wanted to spend $225. It's not worth making just that. I still am very happy with the sound of my Flows. Oh well, will still cut off/gut stuff on down the line.

klisetron

Ok cool. To answer your queestion, after my cats its just 3" tubing all the way back to the tips. I just got it dyno'd today and made 390 at the wheels. The guys that owned the shop said they would upload a video they took of it. When that happens ill post it up!

eliyarbrough

I thought I read somewhere it was all 3". Guess I was wrong. 390 isn't bad!! Thanks for the help! I did see it was 2, 2, & 2. Not that indidnt agree, just to help ms remember!

Oh yeah!! I see you live in CA. How the hell can you pull that off? I heard they put a limit on your pets flatulence.

klisetron

I don't know what your referring to? Fuel's octane? If so yes only 91 out here . But yea that was a 4th gear pull too. The guys dyno maxed out in 5th before peak power was made. I'm happy with those numbers, especially for a 4th gear pull.

Is it the smog your referring to? I still got cats on for emissions.

eliyarbrough

Wasn't meaning to talk of octane. I didn't see you typed after cats, sorry!
