he killed his power by using a flowmaster in the first place. Have fun dealing with the local constabulary.

That is wrong.. It dosen't kill the torque that is a myth. Look at my dyno graph. It picked up torque all the way across the power band. It will however move the peak torque up the RPM range.

your systems are totally different, his is dumped before the muffler, before the rear axle, yours is a full system with mufflers

NGM, im sure yours is quite a bit restrictive because of the fact that you do not have cats, but you have a mufler, and tailpipes, but from my personal experiance of having my exhaust system dumped with no muffler, and true duals with no muffler (but both with stock cats) there is more torque on the top end with a full system.

of course, this is not dyno proven, but my truck pulled harder on the top end with my true dual exhaust than when it was just dumped.

just my .02

The dyno proves open exhaust is better.. Thats why racers don't have mufflers.. unless required by the class. If adding mufflers added torque top fuel cars would have them.
