Estimates on next ET with my new OBX cat-back??

Time slip for last outing with intake and y-pipe are in sig. I am thinking I can maybe pick up 1-2mph and drop another .1-.2?? I am so tempted to pick up a UDP and go ahead and put it on, but I really would like to see gains from this cat-back system before the next mod.....

That sounds like a lot for a catback. I wouldn't expect that much. However, I think the UPD + catback could get you .1 to .2 off.

I don't think a catback yields that much performance until you get into boost or nitrous. NA I think they're just for looks and sound.

I know I didn't gain a tenth when I put mine on.

I think I have seen some people gain around .15 with a catback. Some people dyno around 10 whp more with a catback, don't know why there would be no gains?

You know there was an (auto) guy trying to sell his obx-catback because he said that he lost power. I should have mentioned that the fastest NA auto on the board had a full catback, test pipe, and y-pipe!!

Ordering the UDP soon, but will try and wait till I go to the track before I put it on.... You got any free weekends Matt??

So was this a warpspeed b-pipe with a high flow muffler? thanks

If so looks like my estimates of .1-.2 and 1-2mph might be "possible".....
