Straight piped for power

Shawa · 10-01-2014, 07:03 AM

I'm a little confused on this one like the OP, currently I'm running only aam short tails and k&n drop ins with z1 post maf tubes. From what I understand the short tails causes a loss in back pressure which takes away some low end torque, which honestly my butt dyno didn't notice lol but I did notice a small gain up top because it revs easier. My plan is to pick up the AAM s line midpipe to go along with the short tails. Now they claim that is pretty much an increase in 20whp and torque, but from reading this thread it seems like I would lose power? Isn't the AAM s line and short tails combo pretty much a straight pipe catback I guess? Thanks fellas
