Stock muffler going back on...HP loss?

I have a 2 1/2" catback, Y pipe, and resonator.

How much horsepower am I going to lose by going from my Fucuz muffler to my stock muffler? 1 or 2 right?

Not enough to be noticeable. Probably close to 1hp, since someone actually ran with and withOUT the catback and only picked up 3hp withOUT.


BTW, did you end up going to Firebird Friday?

No my car is busted right now because of the UDP. I'm having trouble starting it and my SES light is on. Didn't want to risk it any further.....

Somebody actually dyno'd their 2000/2001 with a straight-thru muffler and with the stock muffler and only lost 3 HP. There's your dyno proof. The stock 5th gen muffler rocks flow-wise and noise-wise.
