Hey guy's I just put on a straight pipe exhaust on my 05 F150 I noticed a drop in my low end torque and horsepower, I love the way the system sounds but was wondering if there was any thing I could do to it to make up the low end I lost?

 

The lack of backpressure is causing the loss of torque. A tuner and intake would probably help.

 

what about a throttle body spacer and if so which brand would you recommend

 

Throttle body spacers are useless on these trucks

 

so the best would be a intake and possibly a tuner

 

Yup. Custom tunes and I would suggest the DWV intake to save some dough. A quick search should bring up results on the DWV intake.

 

Yep, throttle body spacers will only make your truck make a weird whistling noise.

 

So with an intake in order what ya'll know about the spectre intake

 

How do you know you lost horsepower & torque? Just by feel? Did you simply remove the muffler or were there other mods like removing the cats or different headers? You didn't remove the Oxygen sensors did you?

 

Just by feel I removed the mufflers the cat are still there along with stock headers, and no I didnt remove the oxygen sensors

 

your engine is not tuned to run like that. If you don't want an exhaust that is made for the truck than a "Tuner" as mentioned above is you best bet.

 

 

ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?????
