Default header power.

Ok so i was talkin to a guy about my supercharger and car and all and he asked what exhaust i had and i told him long tube headers catless x and flowmaster 40's. The first thing he told me was that the headers didnt give me much power but that the catless x did. and then he told me that the flows that i have on my car are holding back power and that i need to change them to a MAC cat back system. what do you guys think about all this?

Sounds like a screwy opinion to me lol. Is he comparing your LT's against stock manifolds when hey says they're not helping your power curve?

thats all opinion. everybody knows that if you add LT's that the hp increase is quite a bit especially when a blower is involved. now im not knockin mac by any means but they are not the most precise company with there products. my g/f had em and all they were was problems. bad welds and sorry fittment. your mufflers are fine, and if you did change mufflers at least go to a straight thru design. i would advise magnapacks, or borla.

ok so you dont think thatthe flows are too restrictive? o and i dont know but i think he was sayin that on a N/A car they wouldnt help alot but i just talked to him and he said 10-15 whp is what he meant by not alot. If its any consolation he is the guy w/ the 810hp procharged 05 mustang on the cover of the 5.0 mag
