Well, i can tell you from experience that Flowmasters with no cat will give you a good increase in hp, plus great sound to boot. That is, if you dont have any emission laws. You can get flows for just over $100 a piece. :smash:

I think Franks conclusions were based on four runs on the same night. Not entirely sure though.

Let me reiterate again,

Backpressure = :reddevil

Bye, bye.

Tell that to my Honda. She doesn't seem to care.

And, lets see, Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Nitro Coupes only form of back-pressure is that little flap that flips up at anything over idle.

I actually just got mine inspected. He said that it was fine and there wasn't any reason why it wouldn't pass inspection. :cheers:
