How much power should I be making to run them? I will be adding vt stage 2's in the near future and maybe thats why the sales person sold me the 3/4". Man, I hope I dont lose too much power cause Im not making that much as it is. My main concern is that the tubes dont rub against anything cause I can add more power as needed. I read that thread too, so basically I dont lose power out right, just moves hp/trq up the power band so the low end might be a bit soft. Hopefully if that is the case, my gears and converter makes up a bit of the low end feel. Thx again.helty said:i asked this same question about 2 weeks ago. with the 1.75" its gonna cost you some power, unless you're putting a lot down.

maybe it wont make a big difference, I hope it doesnt cause any problems for you/
Thx helty, you always try to give as much info as possible. What the heck, I have them already so might as well use them. I cant see it hurting me too much and I figure that they are only mid length and not 1-3/4" long tubes cause I know those would be an overkill.helty said:I dont know what to tell you, as far as how much power you need to be making w/o sacrificing down low torque. When I asked the question, it was asked under the assumption that I would have a Novi 2K putting down about 380, and even then I was told they're too much.
However, SLP LT's for 4V's are made 1.75", and they arent putting down any more than 390(flywheel) stock, and thats for the Terminators. The N/A 4V's are what, 305, 320? Whether they hurt performance or not, I dont know.
Hope so dude. Rob at exhaust sys/kailua told me that he liked the 1-3/4" better anyway and it wont be a problem. Said that my power would move up a bit in the rpm range and since Im adding cams after along with a tune should be fine. Said the gears/cnvrtr will take care of the bottom and I would actually pull a bit better up top. PM me cause Id meet u one day if u wanted. I work in kalihi as well.Stang|ess said:There's actually not a lot of power difference between midlengths and longtubes, as long as the primary tubes are linger than 15" or so. I don't have the exact number, but I'm sure someone can chime in.
It should still feel alright since you got 4.10s
