Right now i have Pacesetter LTs, and i have had em open for about 2 months, I like it alot. But the smell and noise is gettin old. Im wondering what the performance differance will be if i bolt up TSP duals on compared to leaving them open. I would assume i would be loosing power, but i dunno.

Thanks.

 

Not shure but Id have to say that your losing power with them open.

 

The extra backpressure would probably help you

 

I wana see some ####!!

 

i have no #'s for you but had the same two setups for a while. i ran open headers which was pretty cool for a while but got old really fast with the rasp when rpm's drop. i went to tsp duals with my pacesetters and was completely over the open headers after the first drive. i think you'll be much happier with the duals vs. open headers.

 

I would rather have the daily driven drone for the extra performance then put the TSPs on and loose some power.

 

If you do a search, there is something on here about this, i think its a 2-3 hp difference.

 

I would but the search button is down in my neck of the woods.

 

There's an old post on here comparing HP numbers and flow rates of various mufflers. They dyno'd all and compared to open headers which dyno'd the lowest. I would think the scavenging alone you would get from the duals would be worth it.

 

open headers are too loud, i really doubt you are losing that much HP though. i ran open headers for a while and every once in a while i want to run them open again, the cutout doesnt give the same level of satisfaction...

 

You'll gain a bit of performance just from the scavaging that comes about from the X or Y pipe. You're onlly thinking you're getting the best benefits from the open headers, but really you arent. Almost all of the #s are so close anyway, that there's really only a 7-8hp difference between the best and worst (from what I remember...and granted, this was on a Mustang).

 

the duals will actually give you more power due to you needing a little bit of backpressure
