How restrictive is the stock midpipe

[WHITE]

What material is the works pipe made from? Mild steel?

Seriously? Why would anyone downgrade from the oem 409 mid-pipe to aluminized pipe?

Do you have a dyno sheet for that 5-6whp gain from your Works mid-pipe?

I didn't find any dyno results for just the mid-pipe but I didn't read the entire thread either. I already know that the Works mid-pipe doesn't add 5-6whp without a shitload of other VE mods.

Are you really trying to argue that aluminized pipe will outlast 409 stainless? It might last half as long.

i will not argue with you. all these are based on experience buddy.

my car is an R&D car since day 1 and i do a lot of product testing especially on exhaust systems and turbo kits

here's a graph of the midpipe with axleback. no other mods installed

most axleback gets 2-3 gains give or take. so factor that out and you get 5-6 for just the midpipe

We tested different setups. The midpipe doesn't give any power gain, as well as the rear muffler.
The only way to gain real power on this car is to work on the front pipe and the headers.

Sorry 'experienced buddy' but aluminized pipe and bogus hp claims = snake oil.

Caveat emptor.

Was going to buy, till this....why why why WHY?!?? I dont even care if it dropped 5-6 horse power and cost 100$ more, id have bought it if it was 409 or 304 stainless. Guess im back to making my own midpipe.

[Gardus@Supersprint]

Better keep the stock resonator than fit some mild steel component IMHO.

[FR-Sizzle]

First Works claim 10 hp on there drop in now 5-6 on a mid pipe. I would avoid these guys at all costs. Seems like they make up numbers or alter there dyno runs just so they can get parts sold.


2 vendors already said otherwise.

So would getting a Greddy SP elite and over/front pipe work well as other cat backs?

I've never seen so many aftermarket parts and vendors spring up out of nowhere and overnight as they have for the twins. From what I have observed... There are more crap products, BS and fake promises than there is in congress..
Just because something is shiny and has a cool name or logo doesn't make it worth buying..
