Losing or Gaining power? (open longtubes) I am running straight longtubes.. after the longtubes, thats it... just open, "mods" listed in my sig, you think I am losing power from this open set up, and should put an X-pipe backthere with a muffler, or you think I'm doin better? Yeah, I like the noise.. going deaf is fun.
I ran mine for 2 days wide open. It did seem to be missing some low end but it revved better than without LTs. Shook so bad I thought my dashboard was going to fall off. I soon tired of the ringing in my ears but the sound, especially at idle, was awsome.

How about the fact that your motor is gonna run pig rich and never get correct O2 readings b/c the A/F is going to be diluted by outside air entering the exhaust near the O2's since you have nothing after the LT's.

ya man im in the same boat my car hasn't even been tuned yet and my LT's really didnt show that much performance running just headers but when i get my true duals back on there it will have some back pressure thats when i will feel the power.
