which one makes da' mos' powa?!

Larger diameter piping.

More efficient mufflers.

For real... if you could only change one. Which would make more power?

This is a hypothetical so please don't respond with "changing just the pipes isn't practical...and it's stupid". I know that. So what do you think results in the most hp increase? (short of a full catback)

This is kind of like arguing between Splitfires and Bosch +4s. The performance gain from both together is not much, so dividing the small amount into fractions isn't worth the effort to find out. Nice sig, though.

Strictly speaking about 4.6 stangs probably the mufflers but the results are so minimal its almost not worth bringing up.
