OK, let me see if I can get this straight this once and for all. If you =
replace the stock muffler with one that is less restrictive (especially =
with new headers), you get an increase in horsepower. If you use a =
larger diameter pipe, you actually LOSE off-the-line power, but gain =
power at the upper end of the RPM range? I replaced my stock muffler =
with a Magnaflow single-in, dual 2.5" out muffler.
