First off he is only running straight pipes from where the muffler attaches to the back of the car so no his setup is nothing like a FI, Stillen etc. Also my FI exhaust has only two restrictions and that's the two mufflers at the rear and I refuse to believe that if I had no mufflers at all (straight pipes) I would make any more HP. Maybe 1-2


I guarantee my Non Resonated FI Cat-Back makes just as much HP as a custom bent straight pipe setup made by some local muffler shop. As a matter of fact if the pipes are increase to much you may lose power.
