tbh there is no situation in which i don't find exhaust coming through your hood a laughable choice.

guess some guys like to roll coal on themselves though.

Let's talk EGT's?

engine masters, part of the motor trend channel on you tube did 2 different tests

1 with bashing headers in your classic make them fit style and then went full retard on smashing them, and it made no real difference and then people complained that they were using headers that were too big in the first place so they did more tests with the same motor and showed that really didnt make a big difference either.

i have personal experience with smashed/dented headers on the race cars from contact, and as long as they arnt pinched off it dosent make much difference in my ass dyno

I really don't think the difference between 2-1/2 and 3" afte 3 catalytic converters is going to matter... lol

but, I'm thinking i'm gonna just buy my own 2-1/2 inch shorty muffler and give it a nice little side pipe.

/e both of those videos were super informative though.

has anyone watched the video where the magnaflow tech explains why a muffler is actually better than a straight pipe? (after a certain distance of pipe)

been trying to find it on youtube but having no luck, its floating around facebook right now

I don't know much about engine performance or air flow through an exhaust system, just about suspension and shit like that lol.
