Not anymore than some long tubes and free flowing exhaust. The main issue would be your emmission laws. It would be extremely loud though.

It might confuse people. When they hear it they will be looking for a beat up farm truck but only see your car.

A set of straight through bullet mufflers will knock the edge off and give you some tone, with no real loss of performance.

Sorry bro. Yeah, my injectors are to small 85 duty cycles at only 5800, 106 at 6100rpms. So we ccouldn't add timing. And the rev limiter is suppost to be set at 6900rpms. So tuner says another 25whp at least. So far only 395whp. Car pulls like madd though. New injectors on the way

I have my injectors and will be retuning in 3 weeks, then i'll update again. Going to port the tbody also. But notice how qiuk the curve jumps up in power, and is very straight. My low endend is real strong, top end is strong. Pulls like mad even detuned. This cam rocks. I should get 430at the wheels this time
