Hey guys. I got an E-303 for free, brand new in the box! In the next couple weeks, I'm ordering an exhaust system (Flowtech shorties, Mac O/R H, Bassani catback). I KNOW I won't gain any power, but how much of a decrease am I looking at with the full exhaust if I put the cam in? I honestly just want the sound.

Oh Matt, if your "yukking" my exhaust choice, I heard someone w/ the Mac hpipe and the bassani, it sounded awesome. And I was told yesterday that the Flowtech shorties are the same as Hookers, kind of a sister-branch. Eh, i cant decide on a friggin exhaust system!

i'm "yukking" the fact that you are installing a cam for sound.

your gonna feel like a schmuck when a maxima destroys you because you installed a cam for sound, instead of power.

Im not sure about the install yet due to the fact that I have no knowledge of the effect it will have, hence the reason for the thread. Will it really kill my power that much? Im assuming it will now that I've been yukked...

Honest truth. No, you might actually gain a few horses. But the fact that you don't know know that makes us think you Altezza's on your mustang

well lets say a stock 5.0 with 100k~ on it, has roughly 190HP at the wheels.

if you stick an E cam in there, your probably gonna go down to about 175.
