[QUOTE="Guy, post: 1120299, member: 22717"] I'm hearing many sides to this argument. I tend to agree that the gains will be small. However... there is one thought lingering... ford wants to sell ford performance products. To appeal to the masses of raptor owners... they have to show more than a pretty sound... I would think.... so then you say.... well in terms of pure physics... how would it be possible for them to get more power out of a set of "aftermarket" pipes... The path of the pipes are the same. The size and quality of construction the same... so what would be different? What if the mufflers on the raptor are RESTRICTIVE. More so than the Down pipes and the cats.... let's assume for a moment that the mufflers are a choke point and if you replace the exhaust with free flowing mufflers you decrease back pressure and improve flow and performance... Maybe ford had a target of 450 horsepower and had to come up with an exhaust note that appealed to the general consumer without ringing the ears... and did so at an expense of 20 horsepower... Can someone verify that there is NO flow to be gained by changing all the mufflers after the cat? There is a lot of focus on the pipes... but none on the mufflers.... Guy [/QUOTE]
