Won't it be funny if we make more power with a muffler?

It's not uncommon if your car is running on the verge of lean.

We made more power running two inline mufflers out the rear than just the first inline muffler out the side.

I agree, if your car makes less power on straight pipes you should definitely run it that way!

the dreaded dyno day... How will I get my car there? Bela volunteered your services.... Is this correct? Hopefully no one blows up their engine on the dyno... although it tends to make for the best dyno videos when it happens... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-04a-7Glng

Did you guys ask Dan R is he wanted to join?
