i have a simple h-pipe with dumps. who needs mufflers? not me
ill be laughin when you dont pass inspection.
already did. there is no law that says you need mufflers. just some gay one that makes you have cats. but now since i live in a no emissions county........ bye, bye cats when i get the $$
most states require mufflers. PA does.

also you better think twice about running 10.0:1 with a TMA turbo kit as you list in your future mods sig. 9.0:1 would be max unless you want tuning problems at 7psi boost

so i've heard. but it is easily done, as some cars actually come stock with that comp ratio with the same boost. i have tuned and helped build a car for a freind that ran 10.5:1 with 14 PSI from a blower. it ran fine

name 2 cars with that kind of boost factory and compression ratio?

don't try it with a 3.8. you will be running the ragged edge for tuning.

9.0:1 you can get away with almost 20psi with a good tune but 10.0:1 you won't be able to approach 10psi without retarding the timing alot which will defeat the purpose of the higher compression.

why not run 8.5:1 and 25psi???

buick guy's run 7.8:1 and 25-30psi max and generally about 20psi at that ratio. the ford 3.8 was based off of the buick and will tolerate about the same boost levels but generally make more power because of the ford being a better design than the stage 1 buick

1999 subaru STi had 9.9:1 comp with 13 PSI and the 1996? Audi A4 1.8t had 10:1 comp with 10 PSI

^ But you dont drive a Subie or an Audi. You have to remember that you have an old school push rod V6. High compression and forced induction dont go well together with out motor.
