Stock tailpipes with 2.5 x and mufflers....

Casper5.0 · 03-26-2002, 09:37 PM

I have my stock tail pipes layin' around and was thinkin' that i might gain some torque over the turndowns behind the mufflers i have now. I have bbk longtubes, 2.5 inch dr gas x pipe, and 2.5 inch flow tubes with ultra flow mufflers. Do you think i'll lose hp by putting the stock 2.25 tail pipes on? Any input is appreciated.

Oh and by the way i will eventually put 2.5 inch tail pipes on i'm just poor right now......

X-pipes like freeflowing exhausts. The free-er, the better they work. So IMOHO, if you slow down the flow with tailpipes (even 2.5") you'll noticec a drop in power. How much, I dont know. If you do the tailpipes for noise, then be comfortable...
My side-exit exhausts are dyno-proven to lose hp, but thats the way I'm gonna run it cause I hate dumps, and the rear suspension wont allow for tailpipes.
