96 Cobra Exhaust Question

T-Bone · 03-20-2000, 03:00 PM

I don't think the flowmasters will give you much of a power increase, if any. Just a better sound. If more horsepower is what you want, then you need to get rid of the 6 catalytic converters that come from the factory. You can get several X-pipes or H-pipes that only have 2 cats on them and should pass emmisions tests, if you have them where you live(location???). I don't have emmisions tests where I live so I ordered a Mac Pro Chamber H-pipe(no cats), which if you read the May 2000 issue of 5.0 Mustang, had the highest increase in H.P. and tied for the second highest increase in torque. There was a big X-pipe comparison article where they actually dyno'd several different ones.
I should have mine in a week or two and will find out first hand if I made the right choice.

Good Luck
