Once you have over 1,000 posts here and go to the track almost every weekend then you can start calling guys idiots. But for now, why don't we all call you the idiot for ripping on a guy that was just trying to help you and and knows about 30 times more about cars than you do.
Have a nice day

You need something coming off the muffler. My car is loud as all hell inside and outside the car the only rattle I have is my e-brake button but that's been there ever since I got the flows. Performance wise I didn't feel much faster however it did feel like it got a little more jump off the line. I think it looks tight without the tips anyway and the sound is incredible. Currently I have a 100 shot of nos being hooked up. The guy gave me a deal...100 shot and turndowns for $350, how could you turn that offer down. It'll be finished tomorrow. My car will actually have decent speed now.

Are you trying to say that you think a 4 inch long turn down after a muffler is going to make you a 15 RWHP difference?!

I would say that it is safe to assume that your car is mostly stock, judging by the fact that it ran 15's the last time you had it at the track, (read that from your post in the Drag Racing section). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a mostly stock car without a free flowing intake tract can lose on the low end from an exhaust that flows too freely.

Basically, I have been where you are at. I have already made the mistakes you are making. If you don't want to heed my advice then fine. But ridiculing me for helping you is uncalled for.

BTW, good luck trying for the 13's. Just know that if you run a 14.0 it would have been at least 13.9 with tips

Why do you have to be so stupid
For Christ sake i drive a Diesel and even know that a stock 5.0 needs back pressure to perform correctly
God this just goes to prove there are a lot of idiots driving around
BTW: you should listen to Yellow94GT he has forgotten more than you will ever know

OK, I don't know how often any of you go to the track. But one week I got bored and pulled my tips off to polish them. While they were off the car I started it up to see how it sounded. The car felt like a damn dragster. All kinda of shaking and BS like that. You are all just thinking that your cars are louder w/o the tips. The reason for the increased noise is that the exhaust is hitting under the cockpit of the car! Outside the car it is actually not as loud.

Now, for those of you who say that it improves performance! LMFAO, the ONE time I took my car to the track w/o tips it was 1.5 MPH off the pace! I'm not saying that this is from lost HP, it could just be the lose of low end. But, none the less, it waws 1.5 MPH slower.

Be smart. Get tips.

Damn, I took my tips off to save a few lbs last time I was at the track.... It would have been sweet to run 102.5 mph if I had my tips on

Pull the mud-flaps. Probably gain a mph or 2. Less wind resistance right!
