ok, why is it viewed as an exhaust restriction? from looking at them(resonator) the pipe is straight through? Why will this give me more takeoff and more at WOT?

well, to muffle sound, you have to change the way the air flows right? It has to slow down to get quieter... any thing that slows down airflow could be considered a restriction. Even if its only a minute amount.

I still have my resos on. took out the muffler.

grrr, gonna have to wait until work monday night to bend the pipe a little. There is just enough of an angle to give me problems! I dont think I can bend 2 1/2 in. exhaust pipe by hand! Any ideas besides a pipe bender?

ok, put some exhaust seal on tonight (hope it works) to fill up some of the gaps left by the pipe clamps. Might be going back to the track sat. if the weather is good! Hope to find out if the mods ive done helped. (power wire and weight loss (truck) since last run.
