Default nascar boom tube

Hey, i've just finished listening to a nsound clip of a nascar boom tube and wow.....that things is awesome....

I currently have a loudmouth and i know people swap out he resonator 4 a borla muffler, etc..anyways, could install a boom tube inline and how much hp/et gain could i possibly see?

I know its rare but someome has to have some info....

I wanted to install it inline because i dont want to loose my quad kit, center exhaust....

Have you actually seen a boomtube? There is no installing these into the i-pipe. It has to be totally custom setup.

yes, ive seem them......however, i figured that at the large (exit side) a "cap" could fabrication to reduce the size and be feed back into the loudmouth.....
(im not that ignorant!!)

Just wanted to see if anyone has had a simular idea but i guess not........

You talking about some trick fabrication to do something like that. And even then it wouldnt be a boom tube. You would just be making use of the exit part. A true boom tube makes use of an X pipe. And I dont think there is any way you could make that work while coupled to all the rest of your quad exhaust components.
