I've dyno'd in 3rd once for the hell of it and it was EXACTLY the same as 4th. I thought maybe there would be a little more loss.

4th is the common practice

Default What HP

Most everyone here will tell you to get rid of the Flowmaster and go for Maganflow or Borla for the best flowing exhaust, but you should see maybe 315-320rwhp and 320-330rwtq, but again, it all depends on the car, some are turds, some are beasts, but most are, well, average.
