I believe it. The pacesetters are very restrictive as is the y-pipe. We gained 14rwhp going from Mac's to Kooks.

Just from looks alone, the Kooks look better coming off the flange. Seems to have a more gradual turn down with the primaries, compared to the pacesetters...
A set of 1 7/8 is on my list...

restrictive is a relative term though. On a bone stock car you would see little if any gain. If we are talking about a heavy modded 346... or even 422, gains will adjust accordingly to the need to breathe.

I am assuming this was on a cam only 346 or maybe a h/c auto car???

We just did a 03Z06 and switched the SLP's out for LG's and went from 465 to 477 peak for peak.
Let me see if I can get a graph.

The cost/gain factor would be worth it if it was 20hp.
