they didn't for me, granted I was using one from an 03 cobra that my buddy let me use while he went through emissions. It just didn't feel, I guess as smooth is a better word, as it does with the catted midpipe in there.


EDIT: I should say, I guess I can't really coment on running longtubes, because both times I was running with a set of shorty's. SO I guess I don't really know what it feels like in a car with longtubes, but I'll still stick to my shorty's.

 

I agree with Jayc. There are alot of people talking out of their *** in this thread. Dyno numbers mean nothing at all in the real world. ET's are the only numbers that matter. I run faster then 03 cobra's in the 1/8th and I have around 100 less hp.

 

hey, you know what, I admit, I was wrong, I had it the other way around, I really shouldn't have put my two cents in, I've never driven with long tubes.

 

Hey that's Ok. If I were ever wrong I'm sure I'd admit it lol

 

With all due respect, my "real world" is driving to work (rarely), a car show or on a cruise every once in a while. So, the only objectifiable way to see what different mods make are from my dyno numbers following tuning. I don't have the time (while it would be fun) to go make 10 1/4 mile passes to see what mods netted me. Just a different perspective.

....and if they got that power to the ground, weighed as much as you with the same weight transfer and had the same driving ability...you wouldn't. I guess that's the beauty of big power cars....if you can't get it to the ground...it's all for not
