    When did I say my set up was the best? Please find the quote for me? You guys just think you own the forum and what you say goes and anyone challenges you it's all wrong and that person knows nothing. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

    By the way if you actually read what I said I said the cat's was the key to it all hence why I uploaded photos of the factory cats. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

    Re-tune after catback upgrade?

    So smaller pipes mean higher velocity so why not 1"? I'm not gonna bother it will just drag on and on. From my experience I gained more torque and power yes thats right both increased on the dyno chArt the torque in the lower rpm increased by between 3 and 5% and quite a bit more in the higher...

    And that's your opinion seems like you can't hack someone who doesn't agree with you. Ill give my house away if you can get two ss commodores one with a 3" one with a 2.5" and get anyone on the planet to notice a deference... my point is going 4-1 headers 200 cpi cats and 3" exhaust gave me...

    The more and quicker that gas gets through the system the more OVERALL power is made. Period! But there are factors to that rule. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

    With YOUR logic that means we should put a 1" system on! That way we have even bigger low end gains :):) Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

    Lol if thats what happened to your car then I'm sorry if you think half an inch will make that much difference to power loss well... mines a beast ever since I went 3" with high flow cats and headers I gained 18HP at the tyres Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

    Walkinshaw Power Upgrade V AFM

    Couldn't agree more! They sound like a slipping clutch AND the boxes aren't that strong there crap compared to the ford auto.. AND you loose 10% more power through the drIveline over a stick when tuning. I've noticed particularly in my area in the last 12 months nearly every V8 ve I've seen has...

    This is the dog leg of an angle the exhaust gas has to flow :/ then it has to flow through this.. apparently there's holes in it lol O_o You can't tell me that's not robbing you of 10-15HP Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

    No "fluttering" sound on the 3" with headers and cats. Mine sounds tough! Bubbles pops and rumbles and barks when you hit 5000 rpm sounds epic. What I did was this; Walkinshaw power pack except used VCM otr. 2.5" catback THEN Added pacemaker tri y headers which made a small difference...
