I can hardly feel exhaust horsepower from my Bassani X. Plus, it's torque that you feel, not necessarily horsepower.
As Shelby says, horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.
with a catted midpipe maybe 5-7 rwhp at the most, go cat-less and you can gain over 10. You're going to hear about 50 different opinions on this...

My car put down 275 hp & 294 ft lbs tq with a catback, MRT catted H, & a C&L 85mm untuned. With my mail order Xcal tune my car put down 289hp & 311 ft lbs tq. Im not sure how much each mod gave me, but I know my car is supposed to have 305hp & about 320ft lbs tq @ the crank stock, so I figured it wouldve dyno'd roughly 260-265 hp at the wheels bone stock.
That's the lowest I've ever seen with those mods on a Mach, horsepower-wise anyway. It's normally right on 297RWHP. Maybe the dyno was alittle off, or maybe the conditions.
Could be, or maybe my car is a lemon?? I dunno. The 1st time I dyno'd my car on a dynojet, it put down 287 hp & 292 ft lbs. I dyno'd it again on a different dynojet & it put down 275 hp & 294 ft lbs on a cold evening??? Both of these were @ ricer shops that dont specialize in mustangs, so maybe thats why, but I doubt it... My A/F ratio is kinda lean too, so that could be another reason??? I am saving up for a real dynotune as we speak, & installing an o/r H pipe, so i will have some new numbers within the next month or so....

The MRT is excellent quality & it has a nice exhaust note, & the cats mellow out the tone a little, but I would say the high flows may rob only 5-7 hp, but its not anything u will feel. I actually just received my Mac off road H today from UPS, so i will be catless pretty soon....
What are the plans for the MRT???
I'd say the first place you dynoed would have put you right where you should be with a tune and those mods. Right around 300RWHP.
love the quote. So you felt a good increase in torque with your midpipe?
You gotta go WOT sometimes if you want to feel the difference Granma.
I honestly didn't feel a increase in torque with my midpipe. I'm sure a dyno run will show gains in HP and TQ, but I just didn't get a SOTP experience.
WOT are for losers
