Might be switching back to stock h-pipe
Hey guys, it still feels like I have lost power with this o/r h-pipe, I might switch it back to stock and go with a catted x or h pipe. If anyone wants to buy the O/R h-pipe it's in great condition and comes with all of the studs and nuts, no rust, I just don't like it anymore.

Yeah what you did if you relieved the back pressure which caused you to loose torque. You gained upper HP though, at least you should have. Wait till you get more on the car, do what quick said and open up the air going into the car, tb, maf, u/l intake manifold, cai.

I like the 3.27s I might go up to 3.55s but it's really not worth it, I'm not going to go any higher, it's going to kill me on the interstate. I miss the torque! lol. The car just feels slower. It does feel a little faster in the top end but it takes longer to get there and it really doesn't push me back in the seat anymore.

Stall stall stall. And gears! I got 3.73s with a 5 speed and they're great. Still get 24 mpg. And with my 347 and the cam I chose it'll be right at the start of the power rangethe freeway which is good for mileage but like it matters...
