Yeah I am going to do the before and afters. I dynoed 455 rwhp and 460 rwtq with a poorly built Y pipe and cut out. It ran 12.1 @ 118 mph w/ a 2.0 60' like that. I will be going back to the track probably Tuesday and see how fast it goes.


The guys that built mine found a way to tuck them up so nicely it looks like I am not going to have clearance issues. Time will tell.

Oh and I think I am going to have vids and pics tonight so I should be able to have them up either tonight or tomorrow.

Yea I'm interested in the power increase also, I have LT's, ORY, GMMG and I was wondering what a 2.5 X pipe TD with bullets will give me over the Y setup. Post the results ASAP!

You are running 918's with that kinda lift? Kinda scary for the investment you have. Dont you think?

I like my duals, but I'm really starting to get tired of the noise. The bullets sound really mean, but it was way too much noise for my daily driver.

all you have to do is change the mufflers. try the search, theres a few people that have complained about bullets on true duals, then swapped mufflers and been very satisfied afterwards.
