True. They make some decent 1-chamber mufflers that guys use on duals.

We're talking about the 80-series that sucks ***.

SCOTTYZ I have wondered these things before(the flowmaster suck factor). You have almost the exact same mods as me ( minus the flowrestrictor). I was wondering what your RWHP is. With my flowmaster, mines in the SIG. Just wanting to know how much I am losing. I am guessing 15 or so. Anyway, guess I am an exception to the rule. hehe

When I bought my TA it already had a Flowmaster on it and I was not happy with it so I got a cutout and couldn't be happier with it. Or so I thought, just finished my pacesetters with off road y with the cutout

I haven't had mine dynoed yet, but hope to soon.

It's so hard to say though, since all LS1s are different. They're all around the same range, but not much to be comparing mods consistently. The best way to find out what you're losing would be to swap catbacks and dyno again.

My other LS1 with LTs and ORY (A4 transmission) was making more than some M6s with the same mods, yet other freak LS1s put out more than that with just a lid and cutout, so it just goes to show you how they're all different.

Maybe on a Mustang or an LT1. I had the 80 series 6 years ago on my LS1 and it sounded weak. The quality is aweful too. Two months after my headers/ORY went on it blew a hole in one of the welds.
