Hi:
When my engine was dynoed, after break in, on fluid drive dyno, on the test stand, with just headers and then again with everthing the same but with the additon of NEW side pipes with integrated glasspacks, the HP reduction was about 70 BHP if memory serves from the documentation from DCE. However, after 10+ years, there is not much glass left in those packs, I would imagine so perhaps there is less loss.

If you do not run sidepipes, what are your options? Under carriage exhaust? I suspect that an under carriage exhaust woud be much much more restrictive than the sidepipes?? Yes?
