Most powerful exhaust system (besides no muffler)

Actually
I have both the Courtesy B-pipe and 5th gen muffler on my 97 and I'm happy with it. I installed the Y-pipe a week before the others and I noticed a significant gain from that. Adding the B-pipe and 5th gen muffler was about 60% as significant. I'm not sure if the muffler itself is what makes it so great, but I'm happy with the results. I can chirp going into 3rd gear with my stock 16's now and my driveability has improved. No loss on the low end and I get about 29 MPG on the average with mixed freeway/city and a few quick races per gas tank.

courtesy b-pipe sucks and 2k muffler is all in your mind, it's still not straight through. both are a waste.

The Courtesy B-pipe was good for consistently lower .15 ets and a gain of 1mph under the same conditions as proved by 15 timeslips. When you can back up your opinion with facts come back and join us.

why replace one restriction with another.
I Dont know about you Guys but...
Have you seen "1/3there2/3togo" (Kirks) Setup ? He's the first guy with the dual exaust deal on his Max that I've seen ! It looks sweet.
I donno if that results in the loss of some power, but damn I'd like to have that setup.
