i didnt know this till i went to a dyno place, you know that you lose lowend torque when you have dumps compared to tailpipes?

w8less

y cause of less back pressure? but don't u get more hp up top?

Slo5oh

um....a sharp turndown vs 2ft of piping with bends...yea i can see that, but it shouldnt be enough to make baby jesus cry.

Ecstasy

thats what the dyno guy was saying, i dunno about more hp up top, thats kidna weird though, but oh well im not spending $400 more dollars on a catback + dumps still sound better.

Ecstasy

actually it made a nice little bit of a diff, im talking about dumping down straight after the muffler.

w8less

just don't dump it all just cut it all off after the muffler trust me it sounds awesome. thats what i am fixing to do. or we can work something out and u can have my dumps

Ecstasy

im going to have custom dumps made, going to go bigger afte the headers then back to 2 1/2 to mufflers then 3" dumps.

also did you know that the 89's had forged pistons?

dumps suck......sound like ****

i have like a 45 degree dump right after my mufflers and love it... if i go to the track i have a plate next to the dump that i can take off and it goes straight through the muffler.

sounds great with headers and an x pipe w/no cats
