looks good Lance, I like how you're still maintaining a semi-stock looking setup. any word on when it might go back on the dyno? good luck with new 1/4 times man!!

not trying to start crap but just saying what you have. you would pick up some more gains from a none crush bend pipe

Get that beast on the dyno and see how much you gained. I don't think the bends will hurt anymore then what the y-pipe was already cutting out.

I think it will go good, the difference is very small between that and a true mandrel kit.

thanks jordan. thats the idea i was thinking. don't know too much about the dyno. it's kind of a waist for me after kyle did some logs with HPT. you can read out the torque output at the trans with it. after doing some calculations it's pretty damn close to the dyno. did it on his truck and his dad z06 and their's were close too.

i'm with you on that. i can only gain from it. just look at what was on before, lol...




not saying that the ory is bad. i just didn't think it was sufficent enough for my mods. definiatly someone like 1truess or a basic bolt-on truck could binefit from it b/c of the lesser mods they have than me.

Not everyone has access to a mandrel bender, or the ability/funds to buy and weld mandrel bent sections together.
