Benefit of Frankencar Midpipe
Is there any benefit of having a Frankencar Midpipe ? Does it give any power gain or is it just purely for looks ? Anybody have any information on this ? Thanks.

Thanks for the input. Do you feel the power in the low end or high end of the power band ?

I thought that a midpipe helps resolve the problem faced with a short ram intake (ie low end power loss).

I don't think an intake can even add 10Hp. How can the midpipe alone give 10Hp ?
