Torque loss with O/R midpipe
How much do you lose when you go with an O/R? I'm considering going with an O/R Prochamber eventually but I don't want to lose too much HP/TQ. Or is it just worth it for sound quality alone? Just lookin for some opinions, thanks.

RE: Torque loss with O/R midpipe
I thought you normally lost a lil torque down low with the O/R but gained a couple of ponies up top? If there's really hardly a difference, I will go with O/R Prochamber. How does the O/R Prochamber compare in sound to the catted Prochamber? Some say the catted version isn't loud enough for them. I don't want something that is obnoxious (sp) but something that lets people know I'm there.

RE: Torque loss with O/R midpipe
I swapped to an o/r H and catback at the same time.
Did'nt notice anything at all. Up high, or down low.
(and even if you lost 1-2 lb/ft of tq at 1500 rpm, would it matter? i've never tried to go fast fro m1500 rpm
)
as for catted/uncatted
it depends on personal preference... what catback youre getting... and where you live
I have an o/r H with Borla Stingers. If I was someone who wanted to be able to hear themself think all the time. I wouldnt still have this set up. It's LOUD, and loud all the time, in the car or out. But not all catbacks will be as loud in teh car.

RE: Torque loss with O/R midpipe
of the MRT H? or the Prochamber??
reallly, ive heard nothing bad from either.
If youre going with the steeda catback, then you will probalby want to go with an o/r midpipe, and since MRT is a gazillion dollars, I would lean torwards an o/r Prochamber
should give you a nice deep tone, w/o too much noise inside, but still be plenty aggressive/loud when youre on it
