I posted my thoughts. Here is a dyno from 11/26 comparing closed and open cut outs. There are pics as well of the set up. Given I have cats, I still think the cut outs make a great mod..<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.geocities.com/sqwznss/Pictures/Car_Pics/Closed_vrs_Open_Dual_Cutouts.bmp" target="_blank">Open Vrs Closed</a> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.geocities.com/sqwznss/Torque_open_vrs_closed.bmp" target="_blank">Torque</a> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.geocities.com/sqwznss/HP_open_vrs_closed.bmp" target="_blank">HP</a> <br /><br />Here are some pics of the set up.. <a href="http://www.geocities.com/sqwznss/y_pipe.html" target="_blank">Exhaust]pics</a> <br /><br />Given there are cats when through the exhaust, I still think it is a great gain. Plus it is quite as can be sealed up..<br /><br /><br />As far as the people that will say you get cold air back on the O2's making it run rich, do not believe it. I have several logs testing it. If you have enough exhaust pipe after the cut outs you will be fine. That is why I set mine up this way. I will be adding some to the driver side just to make sure.<br /> <br /> <small>[ December 05, 2003, 11:43 AM: Message edited by: sqwznss ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1SLOWLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 558</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(2003,11,5,11,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> nice what is your setup <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>sqwznss</b> <br /><small>Member # 3796</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(2003,11,5,12,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I don't drive a mustang so I don't know if it is relivant to you site.

I must have missed your post.. Sorry. There are gains of 22rwhp in spots as well. Peak it was like 10-12 rwhp..
