I've heard a lot of mix reviews on this. When I got my short shots, the stock baffles are wide open. It seemed as though I lost some power, and they were a little too loud for my liking on the highway and my stealership buddy told me that if I put the quite baffles in, I would get some power back. I did so and it seems about the same, maybe a little better. But I cant tell if maybe it's in my head. Anyone ever dyno a baffled exhaust system vs a wide open drag style pipe? Thanks in advance
Yes. I have short shots, quiet baffles, and a fuelpak set up for them. While I'm not making tons of power compared to most here, my tourqe curve is nice and flat. No dip, pulls great from down low and stays there. I'll dig up the sheet and post it up.
Here is my dyno sheet. Shortshots, quiet baffle, fuelpak, stock AC (for a bit longer). I'm very pleased with the torque curve. It's kind of had to see the line, but it's there, hitting 80 lb-ft at about 2300 rpms - ad staying there until about 4000 rpms.
