I think your full of poopy. Now stick this in your pipe and suck, I mean smoke it!

What exactly am I smoking? A link to a test of mufflers that only gives peak hp/tq numbers? Nothing relevant to the discussion.

I have stated that the last two trucks I had both loss low end and mpg's. Did I pick up top end/peak numbers? Maybe, but if I drove in that range all day I wouldn't be hanging out on an F150 forum. Show me a dyno of stock exhaust vs catback only and lets see the low end numbers.

Read 'em and weep.

 

You're comparing a cobbled together muffler swap to a properly engineered, mandrel bent system. Your setup may have lost torque and MPG, but a Magnaflow kit won't.

 

No weeping needed.. If you were not trying to make your point, you would laugh me off the site for trying to use a manufactures claims to justify performance increases. Either way, graph still doesnt show lowend data.

Anyway, if I believed anything a manufacture posted about HP/TQ gains I would be running a Flowmaster kit. Just check the link below, they make 300 hp just by adding their kit.

BTW - If anyone really does believe manufactures performance claims, I suggest you get this product. 13HP and 24% better MPGS for a few bucks!!

Oh boy are you in for it.. I went against the grain by saying I lost lowend power and mpg's and that was bad enough. You just opened a can of worms though by suggesting that a canned system was better than buying a muffler and having a local shop fab you up a system.

Just so ya know, my system was mandrel bent.

 

You've made exactly no counter point by posting that bunk!

 

You made no valid point for me to counter. You posted manuf. Claims on a dyno sheet that doesn't show any lowend data.

 

Well at least you have good taste in wheels.

It's common knowledge that a free flowing aftermarket exhaust increases HP and fuel mileage. My Roush Off Road exhaust did. Just like 1+1=2. It really is that simple.

 

I experienced no low end torque loss either.

 

I'll take power under the curve all day long vs peak numbers or even worse elevated peak numbers.

 

I feel the ban button coming in his near future. Choose your words carefully SMOKEin.

 

He's not being belligerent. He's just woefully misinformed and doesn't really know what he's talking about.

 

Im runnig cams in my truck... what kind of muffler will bring out the idle more? chambered or straight?

 

An aggressive straight-through muffler. Like Magnapacks, Bullets, or XR1's.
