Did I Lose Power?
I was talking to a machanic that i have known for a while, he says "exhaust sounds nice but it must suck losing that low end power!"
i asked what does h mean, he said" " You have no back presure now, making you lose low end power"
I got my 373 on with the exhaust so i could not tell you if i did because the 373 are such a better kick
is this TRUE? What He Says?

ive heard something to that extent from a few people... if ur N/A with bolt ons then u might lose a couple HP if u dont have cats on ur x pipe... and some low end power... its prob not anything significant , and im sure if u had your car... and then your car but with 2 cats... it would be almost the same thing... dont worry

im more about getting a balance between the two.
instead of going out with a smart fugly person, or a dumbass hot-as-hell person.. go for the my-gf/bf-is-hotter-than-80%-of-the-girls.guys and will make more money in 5 years than your gf/bf, and buy me a 05' gt for my birthday present
;o thats my mindset

You lost absoutly nothing. My exaust/boltons intake dyno showed a massive flat torque curve. I made 300 RWTQ with boltons only, and it was making 260 ft/lbs at 2200 RPM. 280 FT/lbs at 3300.
Forget it, nothing was lost.
