Welcome to the board Ken! Hope to see you around some time! :smile:

Almost any mod you put on the car will be a trade off. You can't have your cake and eat it too. In this case, you will lose some low end. But the gains at the top end is worth it. You will feel the low end loss more if you have a full mandrel bend exhaust as well. The losing of some backpressure is caused by the larger diameter pipe and/or mandrel bends, coupled with no resonator or high flow resonator and a high low muffler. But the top end gains are worth it IMHO. A properly tuned exhaust system should give you 5-8 HPs.

Hope that helps.
