Im actually doing that and the 26" tire for another race im in that requires tail pipes over and past the rear axles. Its a TSP catback so its basically a bullet with pipes over the axle. Doubt I loose anything with an open cut out.

No. Just scrubbed with a toothbrush like the rest of Mike's stuff!

You can google Texas speed if you want to find out more about the catback.

What is the difference between it and a Loudmouth cat-back? (Obviously brand, but is there power to be had?)
