longtubes and muffler deletes
Kind of a 2 part exhaust question...
first being:
I like the sounds of the SLP Loudmouths BUT....why bother with that? isn't it a muffler delete? So wouldn't it be just the same if we cut out mufflers and just weld in a nice pair of stainless tips? and if i go with a muffler delete...will a tune be necessary?
then there's my secondary question:
longtube headers.....i have no plans for FI unless i win the lotto or pay off the car...will longtubes beneficial? for sound? power? If i go with longtubes....will a custom tune be good enough? or do i have to get my future stang dyno-tuned?
Other then exhaust CAI and tune....i prob will only mod the cams, throttle body, and coil on packs.
Ok so my exhaust questions have questions with in them....hehehe sorry! maybe....
thanks again guys for all the help you have given me!

RE: longtubes and muffler deletes
First I dont think it would be the same as far a backpressure differences with a muffler (though loud not a true delete) and removing the muffler all together. The SLP's will change the sound and affect backpressure differently vs. no mufflers at all!
Second LT's will help w/ breathability esp when changing those CAMs as you will breather easier. A custom tune should be fine butI always prefer a dyno tune over a canned tune and make sure you include all mods for the person making the canned tune if you get one from one of our sponsors or any by mail for that matter....JMO J

RE: longtubes and muffler deletes
LT's are not worth the money! Trust me I have a set on my car. $1400 plus installation, 20 hp gain, don't forget an hour or so on a dyno...more money, plus a new tune, more money...
Forget the throttle body too, it aint worth the money.

I will have to totally disagree with that. You dont need a TB, nor a dyno tune for the LTs. Brent or Doug or any of the other tuners can write a tune for the LTs. A dyno tune would be best but you do not need it. Yes they are expensive and for a NA car 15 HP is probably about it, but I would take that HP and torq. I would do some other mods first but to just flat out say they are not worth it is a false statement IMO.
