Formulajones, yeah I think your correct. It seems logical that the Pypes (RacePro) would flow better as you have a congiguous flow rather than all the changes in direction and waves/turbulance hitting one another. There is a point where all that begins to play in and you loose power, for me I think a new exhaust is needed, I dont mind it louder on outside of car but the inside droning is terrible.

I "think" the Pypes Race Pro muffler would also flow better than the Dynomax transverse muffler, as it appears the dynomax transverse muffler is similair to an X pipe and there would be some wave fronts hitting. If someone disagress with this logic and has real world experience please let me know otherwise.


Im going to throw out a few more questions in general.

* Max HP limit of Pypes Race Pro 2.5" transverse systems before it restricts, I estimate 450 simply becuase it's a 2.5" system?

* Does anyone have real world experience/opinions with the Pypes Race Pro transverse muffler as compared to a true 2.5" dynomax ultraflo system with seperate mufflers? Just not sure if I can fit a true dual system in a lower sitting Gen 1 firebird without scrapping.

* Opinion on Tom Hands prior system which I beleive was 3" out of collectors, 3" through the X-Pipe, then reduced to 2.5" using flowmaster cone reducers, then 2.5" into and out of a Pypes transverse muffler?
