Ford-A-Tude, I know what you mean, My mid pipe is catted though that's why I don't think i should really lose any seat of pants feel. I heard if you have an offroad mid pipe and a straight threw alxe back, then you might lose some hp. But I don't know

Here's a direct quote from my father-in-laws reply:
"I gave our Mustang sales guy the honors of responding to the concerns of loosing HP with our system. But NO WAY do you lose hp."

Then he put in a link to an article about their Camaro SL1: http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt3030a.shtml

Hope this helps.

The stock system flows so good that changing the axel backs and the mid pipe are really for sound (especially since you are staying with a catted mid pipe). You'll be fine.

I don't think its even possible.

I hope your father in-law was right. I have a goal to get to 310rwhp(all bolt ons) and I can't afford to lose any. But knowing this information is coming from somebody that works with slp I feel better about the loudmouths. Thanks again for your help it was really appreciated!

The only rumor I've heard is you can lose some low end torque by reducing back pressure. But even the LM's wouldn't effect that.

I hope your right!

Well if peak HP is what you want, a free flowing exhaust will help. You can lose low end torque as previously mentioned. And just a question, why is 310 the magical number for RWHP? I guess I don't really understand why you're stressing out over a few hp to reach a seemingly random number when you've already purchased the exhaust. In the big scheme of things, its small potatoes. Just bolt it on for the sound and increased enjoyment you will get from driving the car.

Yes 310 is a random number. Reason for it is because where I live the people who own mustangs are all making like 280rwhp to 300rwhp. Most of them that are making that kind of power are good friends a mine and on weekends in the summer we all go down to the drag strip and have some friendly races. I was the one with no mods and always came a second short of everyone lol (just got the car). Anyways they have standards and i'm only an auto so apparently I need a few extra ponies if I wanna hang with them. Reason I get so worked up about losing power is because i put like a lot of money (well for me) into my mustang and I would be discouraged to lose hp.
