Default WELL I PULLED MY MUFFLERS OFF= MORE HP?

i finally got a chance to do this....when i took it to get tuned i kept blowing the o2 wideband clamps off!...


so i dropped the flowmaster 2-chambers off(which were dumped anyways.
crept out of town,and found an empty back road..


i knew 1st,and 2nd were going to be hell to determine,but when i grabbed 3rd,and then 4rth boy did it scream!...so i slowed down to about 65mph and left it in 3rd,and punched it.the dam,n tires broke loose,and it was already tagging my rev limiter!...my bfg drag radials have never done this,and there is still meat left....


so should i get cut-outs.....or what mufflers is free enough flowing that i could buy?...

Sounds like you found that extra power that you were missing. What's your exhaust set up?
