Default Maybe changing exhaust...please help!

I currently have the setup that is in my sig.

My questions are.......If I went to just open headers with 18" bullets.....would that improve power/performance. Also...would I have the same amount of rasp, or do you think it will take some of it away? Also, are the 18" bullets enough to keep my 02's from taking a ****?

Thanks guys

You are going to lose some tq/power down low, but I don't think that it will matter too much with those 4.11's.

Will I gain any up top. And what do you think it will do with the sound compared to the LT's, ORP, and LM?

Thanks Orange!

It will probably be a "raspy-rascal".

What I am wondering is....how do you handle your current setup without ear plugs!?

Not sure how much those bullets will contain rasp. My buddy just put Kooks LT's with their ORY on his car going into a Magnaflow catback....it has some rasp, but not as bad as I thought. But just bullets..... it might reduce rasp a bit compared to the loudmouth.

I dont mind what I have at all. I have had it for 3-4 years. If I could keep the same ***** to the wall/NHRA prostock sound!!.......but get rid of some of the rasp, as well as pick up some power through the mid-to high end.....then that would be great!
