Less Horsepower?
Well me and my friend made a custom midsection for my 325. We removed the cats and resonators and put metal pipes in its place. And we added a Dinan catback exhaust. I sometimes feel power and then I dont.
Is there anyway I could've lost power from doing this to my exhaust?

You own a 325...
Noise doesnt equal power... but to answer your question the head pipes are what control the power, everything after has very little effect (within reason of course). |

if the tubing is of a larger size then you may have lost a few ft/lbs of torque for a few hp gain up top. i doubt that the ~2-3 ft/lbs lost you could feel on the butt dyno in a 3k+ lb car.

My thoughts exactly... You probably lost low end power for sure. You MIGHT have gained some top end.

Yea you won't feel it... it's a placebo effect from having a noisy exhaust. Ever since I ripped out the sagging sound deadening around my transmission, the car seems faster - but it's simply louder.
Plus modifications short of serious cams/forced induction on an M50 are completely worthless - don't waste your money! |
