Default Did i lose some power?

ok guys last summer i switched from my 2.5 inch tails with dynomax racebullets(straightthru glasspack design) to 40 series flowmasters.. the car sounds diff and a hell of alot restricetive. i think taht is what is slowign my car down. i used to keep up with my cousins g35 coupe but then after the flows went on, i raced him in his g35 sedan rental form the dealer and he totalyl smoked me... if the damn flows lost some performace than i will go back with my racebullets or go buy some slp loudmouths.

even IF you did lose some performance i cant imagine it would take you from winning a race to getting smoked....there has to be some more variables in there that isnt being discusse.[:-]

I'll bet that you probably lost power, go back with the straight-thru muffs, better yet get the SLP cat-back.

I threw my trashmasters out and got magnapacks. Its the best thing i have done for my car. It totaly changes the attitude...I don't know about power gain, but i sure scares the imports.. Put The bullets back on!!!
