SLP will make your car sound like a chevy truck....i think they sound awful....and straight pipes will make the least power and sound the worst...redlined94 said:I see what you guys are saying but I just dont have the money to buy some top dollar Bassani system. I got my flowmasters for like 260 bucks(cat back). I was just wanting something loud and sounded nice at the same time. I would LOVE to have the new SLP cat back system for my stang but it is double what i paid for what i have now.
If straight pipes from the cats made the least power then why did the Warlocks with no plugs rate highest in the FAQ? I bought those based off of the FAQ and they seem ballsy and loud enough to merit as a low cost keeper for now.VIPERn94Five-0 said:check out the muffler shootout in the FAQ...no mufflers made the LEAST power out of all the combos....and they sound like poop!

the problem is this....on a close to stock car, or even mildly modified(my mods etc) straight pipes are gonna give you no back pressure at all....this can be good for top end power because it allows flow in the upper RPM's(our stock shortblock could never rev high enough to see the advantages, if they are even there)...but to make the power down low to get off the line(and driving around on the street)you need backpressure to help with downlow torque, so with no backpressure its gonna be sluggish in the low to mid RPMs and in turn slower....now on a boosted application(turbo, blower) they might help because the compressor is forcing more air into the motor, so you want the exhaust out of there as fast as possible...94-95's are not 67 Mustangs...if it worked on the old carbed cars thats fine...but it DOESNT WORK HERE....and just because a muffler is a "straight through" design doesnt mean its a straight pipe...sure its not chambered so it does flow much more freely than a chambered muff like a flowmaster but it still creates back pressure....My_Little_Pony said:Why would straight pipes make your car slower??? That makes no sense at all!!.......

....someone mentioned dumping the exhaust right after the headers...you go buy long tube headers and install them...no ill install them for you....and then i will take off the rest of your exhaust and we will drive the car...i bet it feels like a DOG down low.....because unless the car is making some serious horsepower it needs some kind of back pressure to make power...its not rocket science...its rather simple....
