Axle back exhausts really don't add any power. Not anything you'll notice. SLPs sound good with cats.

Flowmasters sound horrible period.

SLP's will also cause you to lose torque as well.

Yes, Flow's blow.

Depends on what cold air intake. Pwny I don't buy into that. The cats are keep back pressure. I don't think I've lost any torque, especially according to all of my dyno pulls. I'm running 302 rwhp and 318 rwtq with SLP LMs, VMP 93 octane tune, C&L intake, CMCVs, and UDPs. The numbers seem to be about what everyone is getting even with mufflered set-ups.

Yes. However, there are CAI's out there that don't require a tune. I think BBK has one.

But, you should get the tune anyways since many vendors sell them with a tune anyways. Plus, its way too good to pass up.

Its probably the other mods. If you are bone stock and just SLP's, then you will lose some.

Many people complain about loss of torq with new axlebacks, i felt it with stingers so i know for sure the SLPs will lose some too

I put American Thunder Flowmasters on right after I got my 2006 GT, I have had many compliments on how it sounds. Great middle and top range sound. Now starting to wear in and rumble deeply.
