Default What Will Make More Power?

I previosly had stock exhaust manifolds, cats stock y pipe and flowmster 40 series. I would chirp 2nd no prob, i changed to an off road y and then just a dynomax bullet no tune, and i stoped chirpin 2nd, now i have the ory with a flowmaster deltaforce 1 chamber and i love it, i chirp 2nd and 3rd and can definetly feel the power. but i want something a little bit louder maybe slp loud mouth. But because there is no backpressure since its straight through will i loose power? or gain power?

Check the sticky out (MOD Guide) posts 6 and 13 onwards. It will explain the tech side of things.

Basically back pressure is not what you want, the only reason it helps is if you are running stock tuning. A free flowing exhaust WILL make more power, but other mods dependant you may need a tune to take full advantage of it.
