You are gonna lose some power with the loss of backpressue. Mark my words. I think it sounds cool, but ur gonna give up a couple hp
You won't lose HP, but you will lose TQ. I lost alot of TQ when I dumped mine the first time. I now have my Race Bullets dumped and love the sound with the ProChamber. I picked up a few MPH at the track.

It depends. I have 3" turn downs that are angled outward and it's not bad at all.

Nice correction there code. Keep us inline. lol. I just remembered you said you lost something. So now with the race bullets, did that give you back the backpressure you origionally lost?

Or are you still lacking the TQ you could have with the tail pipes?

Nope, I am sure I lost some TQ again....but, it's the sound I was looking for with LT's, O/R ProChamber, Race Bullets and 3" turn downs..It's the perfect sound.

Do you have tail pipes still or just nothing in ur back bumper? I did it tonight and now the bumper has no tailpipes, looks kinda wierd. It's just super deep now inside the car, not very loud. I angled them towards eachother tho, cuz i was affraid they would scrape otherwise. (I tried to get the tips to stay on the hangers, but they wobbled to much any suggestions as of how to keep them on without them rattling ALOT!..)

i was just wondering if anyone knows if dumps are illegal in any states like MA, cause i know the exhaust is tested for inspection and was wondering how they would reach it with dumps

Are you guys welding hangers onto the flows or the dump downs? My catback system comes with the hangers on the pipes, and the weight of the flows pulls down on the X pipe. Its pretty low. I was thinking about welding some hangers onto the dump downs.
