Having no backpressure isn't what hurts. You don't want backpressure. With an exhaust setup that minimizes backpressure, the powerband will be shifted up, so the loss of 11whp is puzzling. Probably the dyno and conditions.

I think you'll be lucky to see 10-12 whp with everything without a tune.... the stock tune is what is holding you back... I did a full header, downpipe, 2.5" exhaust with crush bent piping and when from 241 and 229 to 261 and 232 and then after meth and pulleys and 3" exhaust I don't know where I am at now!

whoever was running the dyno has no idea what they're talking about. and the guy at the other shop either. just seems weird that they both would have no clue, and both give the same bs reason.

also keep in mind that dyno #'s are completely worthless unless you're tuning. said it a million times, you can go to 10 dynos right after the other and get 10 different #'s. it means absolutely nothing.

if you had a leak you would hear it.
loud hissing in the car.
or it would just sound brutal outside of the car, more so when revved.

backpressure isnt the case here.

you should loose some low end and gain up top.
youve lost about 11 hp.

cant say ive seen this happen with any other exhaust bolt on system on a stock tuned/pullied ss....

dynos are a tool yes.
a tool to view what is going on with your car.
in this case his stock run was normal
now the dyno says otherwise.
regardless of what was made stock, the point is he dynoed in similar conditions on the same dyno and his numbers depleted.
odd.

100% wrong. backpressure robs power, and you don't want it.
