Default Free-flowing exhaust? or choking the engine?

- Edelbrock Stepped long tubes
- ORY
- Spintech catback
- Bullet in the I-pipe

I love the sound. I also have the I-pipe that came with the Spintech, no bullet. I used the I-pipe that came with the TSP Rumbler. It was too raspy. I now have ZERO rasp with the Spintech, just wondering if my farken-exhaust is really costing me. It's all 3" manderal bend.

Well, I'd heard the spintech 3" in, dual 3" out may not flow as well as I thought? and I was wondering if having the bullet in the I-pipe was hurting anything. I would hope not, because the sound is perfect!

F the spintech. I would put on a 2 chamber flowmaster before I did a Spintech.

If you saw the inside of a spintech muffler youd see why. No matter what they say, nothing outflows a muffler with a straight perforated tube.
