    gotbuick What, me worry?

    Some may already know this, but the TA 3" mandrel system with flow masters breaths good.

    I had a full system on my car, no cross over, just stock out the box stuff from TA. After some pulls on the dyno with and w/out exhaust we learned that this system is as good as open headers, pretty much. If weight were not an issue I would be tempted to run it with the exhaust on. :TU:

    I guess I wont be losing any HP with my 350 motor then.I am running TA headers with the 3 inch exhaust and Race Bullet mufflers.Sounds like open headers but not quite.I am impressed at how easy these big pipes lined up and the amount of clearance I have.

    11.69, man that's awesome! Speaking of loud, yeah it was inside a shop. During all pulls I had the windows up because whoa it was LOUD!!

    I'm up to 439.39 HP at the rear wheels on the yellow car. Man is this dyno stuff fun!:Brow:

    I guess it's time for him to start bending some metal.

    Did you happen to see what Bill Sallia ran in his vette? He should have been in the same range.
