Catback question....

[tonys5.0]

Right now I have the stock headers, Mac offroad prochamber, flowmaster 40 series mufflers with stock plumbing/tailpipe exhaust.

I'm confused about this catback exhaust thing. I mean, with the setup I have now, would switching to a full catback exhaust (new mufflers to exhaust tips)make that much more of a difference?

only if you raised the power level of the car IMO. you have to remeber you have 2 1/4 inch pipe that is not mandrel bend vs a new catback would be 2 1/2 mandral bend. so it would be a bit louder and maybe a bit more peak hp but nothing that singnificant on a stock car. proably 2-5hp at the most and may result in nothing at the track.

now if you start making more power then the 2 1/4 will become a restriction and there will be more power in the mod.

I agree with hognutz. Not enough difference to worry about until your pushing serious numbers.
I would say if you don't like the sound, maybe switch to a catback but I would just spend the money on something that will make a noticeable difference.

That makes sense to me now.

Thanks guys!

sorry i'm not offering any advice, but how do you like your exhaust setup? I'm thinking about running the Prochamber/Flowmaster setup and have heard some exhaust clips online but have yet to talk to anyone who had it.

I <3 the sound of my weld-in flows.
