you'd think it would bolt right up to other axleback system

What are u saying "we have a ton of catback exhaust"
..."eventually sold mine...not practical for street driving" again
. Why is it just not practical for street use. I can't see a problem.Juker008

You will lose low end torque and shift power upwards. So you sacrifice low end power for high rpm power. This is been done for years now on AV6 because we have a ton of catback exhaust system available. I eventually sold mine because it's just not practical for street driving. Now if Comptech is smart, they'll release one without pre-mufflers but a long inline glass-pack resonator + no crushes or minimal bends in the pipe. Take note that if they go up to 2.25" or 2.5" piping, low end power loss is even greater. I'm pondering on what this b-pipe's diameter will be if Comptech makes it.

Interesting because an engineer on the board has mentioned that the catalytic converter is enough back pressure to prevent any torque loss.....are we sure of this information. I was thinking they would split the b-pipe a couple of feet before the stock pipe splits sometimes a slight modification can do wonders. I just hope they don't make it out of titanium and say that its lighter and made of
and start charging $500 for a dam B-pipe.

So any guesses as to what they did to gain 7hp? Our b-pipe is pretty straight. I would guess they ditched the silencer/resonator thing the stock one has. Although you'd think you might lose a little torque with the reduced back pressure. Hmm...
