Verrry interesting. At least with a Chevrolet. The torque gains are
considerable with any of the systems. I wonder what my own 3 inch Magnaflow
cat back system would show up as? That was the first mod I made to my '98 V8.
Just turned 2,000 miles. It appears that ANY exhaust system running cat back
is a good one according this article. Just a variation in how good.
