Doubt it. LM2 is a good flowing catback.

Might depend on your ORY - I was running TD's and then switched to a Pacesetter ORY with a Magnaflow CB and lost .35 sec in the 1/4 - that's the only change I did and the temp and DA on both nights were very near identical.

Needless to say, the TD's are going back on for the next track outing.

True Duals, usually meaning an X-pipe or an H-Pipe.

i dont think so. on a stock car, i dont think a normal muffler or a cutout would make a huge difference. plus the lm2 is pretty much like a straight pipe..id spend the money somewhere else.

No, you will just bypass the muffler and make it louder. Put a quality merge in the ORY if you dont have one and you will see some gains

The funny thing about a cut out is i gain 30hp when i open it. I have a 402ci with kook 1 7/8,off roads and a b&b catback. The b&b is whats killing my power,it sucks bad. My boy has a 383ci kook 1 7/8, offroads and a stock centermount ss catback. he only gains 5hp on the same dyno. It's all in your exhaust.
