Negligible. You might pick up some HP under the curve, like 3-5 if you do the whole exhaust and tune it. Else, exhaust without changing anything else is simply for how you like the car to sound.What is the gain? I'm ignorant here, but interested. Are there before/after dyno results?
So I would guess possibly 20-30HP gain? Some people cant justify that due to cost for a set of headers. However, it's realistically gonna be the sound that you pay for, in my opinion.Hey all!
Looking for opinions on longtubes. My brother just got them on his 19 GT and now I am itching to do something. All opinions are appreciated!
So is the relatively small gain impacted by the FPC in the 5.2? What might you see as a gain from the same headers in a 5.0 Mach 1 with its CPC?So I would guess possibly 20-30HP gain?

Show me a 350 that picks up 20-30 hp with headers/ exhaust. A Palm beach dyno tune for example even with e85 only picked up 12-15hp.So I would guess possibly 20-30HP gain?

I'll put an extra emphasis on the GUESS wording I used haha.Show me a 350 that picks up 20-30 hp with headers/ exhaust. A Palm beach dyno tune for example even with e85 only picked up 12-15hp.
So, as @ShatterPoints corrected me on, it would be a minimal power gain. I personally seen the coyote motors make that 20-30HP or so with headers. But, still my opinion would be the real gain you would get would be sound.So is the relatively small gain impacted by the FPC in the 5.2?

The GT350 sounds pretty healthy already, at least to my old ears, so I’m curious about power/torque gains and to learn if the FPC configuration in the 350 does not gain much benefit from the aftermarket exhaust.
LoL I was about to throw money at exhaust if it got me that much.So, as @ShatterPoints corrected me on, it would be a minimal power gain. I personally seen the coyote motors make that 20-30HP or so with headers. But, still my opinion would be the real gain you would get would be sound.
Since you are in TX like me, you'll just need to make sure that you have catalytic converters on the car when it is inspected and that it has no CEL's. As long as those two things are good, you'll pass any computer or visual inspection that's done on the car.Thank you all for the responses! I still want to pass inspection - would a route of long tubes, CAI, and E85 tune be a good choice? I have a resonator delete currently.
I see American Racing L/T shoutout, any other opinions? Also unsure of what CAI to go with. It is a daily (although I don't drive much - COVID limits it a bit but in 11 months I have put on 1700 miles).
Thanks!
They do obd ready codes. No sniffer. If you don't throw a cell you're good.Since you are in TX like me, you'll just need to make sure that you have catalytic converters on the car when it is inspected and that it has no CEL's.

I'm not sure on the particulars in Travis county there in Austin, but I highly doubt you'll have to pass a sniffer test so you can run it on 93 or E85 (whatever you are tuned for) when you go inspect it.
