you guys that are using a ORY with stock manifolds did you pick up any HP at all or any ET- MPH at the track?

^^Haven't had mines dyno'ed yet and it hasn't been to the track, but I can tell you that when I was running the O/R Y and stock manifolds/catback, it definitely felt like it pulled a little harder up top versus when it was 100% stock with cats. Other than that the gains weren't much to write home about. I doubt you would see any real difference in times at the track with just an O/R Y and stock everything else, if you did it would be pretty minimal I'm sure.

Chirping in again about the clearance, I've only scraped once, maybe twice and it wasn't due to normal driving situations. Railroad tracks

I do avoid speed bumps though, but I always have and mine's lowered on Stranos.

Bill is that weight listed with or without you? I assume you have leather, etc? That's 100lbs more than my car full weight. (without me).

Thats with me, full interior and i believe the gas tank was full... been a long time now, hard to remember. A little weight has been shaved off and some added since then, but it probably still weighs roughly 3500-3600 or so. and yes, leather, etc etc..

I think both setups would be loud. Stock manifolds no cats/stock manifolds ORY.
I was running an LM1 with no cats on stock manifolds and it was retarded loud. I switched to a LM2 and I fell in love. The sound is great. I am however if everything goes right picking up a set of hooker headers. I might run the LM2 on it, or switch things up. I would like duals, but that mufflex is just super sexy!

^ yea i like the mufflex too. If i dont like the sound of the magnaflow with the headers ill get a 3in spintech muffler and put in place of the magnaflow. kinda like a bootlegged mufflex.

To be honest I'm extremely happy with my LTs/stock catback setup. Not sure how you guys can stand having the car so loud lol.

Lol. I'm still debating if I'll put a cutout in or different muffler
because It's not my dd any more. I loved the quiet sound tho when I had to drive to class or work.
