RE: Loss of power after SLP LM install?
I didn't feel a lost I went from stock to Flowmaster American Thunder, then to SLP's. I really think that lost or gain will result in a off-road mid pipe because I think the CATS is responsible for a lot of the back pressure. I still can beat stock Charger R/T's, so I say it's not a lost worth worrying about!

I run slp with a o/r xand didnt notice anything.I had the stock h pipe in for awhile to and the car felt slower to me but in reality it was all in my head. like somebody elses stated your not going to feel a 1% loss. Im pretty sure all its just cause the car is louder so you feel like you should be going faster. When i put my stock h back in I was driving fast as **** everywhere I went cause I felt like I couldnt hear my car anymore, was same case when my exhaust was stock to.

I thought the same thing but to be honest what i think it is, is the sound. Its so much louder you feel like it should be faster than it is. I have no mods other than the exhaust, as far as anything that would effect performance, and I have beatin every GT that has raced me. Dont know why but I do.

+10,000 on the whole sound thing. There is now way anyone is going to feel a difference of 1-3 ft/lb of torque lost. This can definitely be arguable but i'm going to say it's impossible. However, you're driving around and you hear these mufflers justscreaming at like 4 grand wot and you just really feel like you should be going a ton faster... like you just threw on a blower. These things like I said just scream at wot once they hit 4 grand and get just nuts at like 5 grand. so yeah it's just your ears playing tricks on you i thought about the same thing when I got mine on.

Do you have a sound clip of the LMs + O/R X?

Is that your sound clip? If so, do you have any while driving? I'm seriously considering getting a O/R X Pipe but I need to be swayed. Also, what O/R X did you get?
