Not sure but this is one of the factors I thought about when going front mount, plus the continuous push from Stoichiometric.. I had a GT-67 with a .96 A/R, It was too small IMO. now I removed about 8 feet of hot pipe, 8 feet of cold pipe, keep the exhaust split to the housing, though it wont help that much, but we'll see. I never thought my 5.3 was laggy with the gt-67 and .96 a/r...

I would like too, build the engine to handle it, just need to buy the crap to make it happen....

Thanks everyone... I hope to have a bit more cash for pipes tomorrow and start welding a few days after that....
