Now the quiz-<br />What is an h-pipe worth in mph?<br />I ran a 106.35mph last week thru the mufflers and a previuos best of 106.9mph thru the stock h-pipe and no mufflers. All conditions were nearly identical this week compared to last week. Today I ran thru the stock mufflers. <br />So, if all else is equal, how much gain would you expect?<br /><br />Drew ran well- I really need to get some ET Streets...<br /><br />JL<br /><br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>90GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 3</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,6,25,7,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I would guess 1.3 mph.
