Eh, forget that...

I wanna be loud, and be known. With my future mod list, I'll be able to blow alot out of the water... so why not show that I enjoy my vehicle

Thinking more about it, I'm wondering what the torque loss is with some of these louder exhausts as well. I honestly don't think it is that much but just something I'd like to see dynoed sometime.

ZZP needs to get a test bed and just start running combos on it. Get some volunteer stock vehicles, start adding CAI, UBends, Different Exhausts and publish these numbers. I garauntee their sales would increase as people aren't just guessing what they are getting.

The public shouldn't need to dyno this stuff. ZZP has their own dyno and should give out accurate information. I don't want to belittle these guys though or smack them. They run a great store and just got the dyno. It cost time and money to do all these things so I want to give them the benifit of the doubt that they will start running numbers.

I just wish they would offer some performance packages for once. I've been watching them for 2 years and still nothing.

yeah, resonator is just something to make california and the feds happy i think, not much point in it or the u bend really. gm quality for ya.... btw, ahs anybody took a good look at the back side fo a dodge avenger or any new dodge really? has anybody see nte hsize of the muffler on those things? WOW
I've noticed that also. A lot of car sporting dual exhausts are also sporting these huge oversized mufflers.

Don't know if it is look or function, but dual exhausts are getting almost standard on many 07-08 V-6's & V-8's.

Granted it is not 'true dual' exhausts, but more akin to 'dual mufflers.' Nontheless,the looks are nice.

I come from the sleeper school where it is more GO and not as much show. Having a loud exhaust just attracts attention - alot of times the unwanted kind. But then when someone waxes you with your loud exhuast its just something more they can smack out of your mouth.

Speak quietly and carry a big stick is my motto.
Excellent points.
