Losing spool and power with catback?

    Right now 3.5in downpipe to a 2.5in SLP LM1 catback. I feel that there is room to improve with deleting the catback and just running a 3.5in pipe out of the front bumper. I would lose 25lbs or so maybe more? Then also lose the 2.5in part of the pipes from the catback. I have heard people pick up a faster spool time with the shorter downpipe which makes totally sense. It also looks b*tch has heck too! Any thoughts on this? I know when I graduate to a big snail and built motor this will happen anyways.

    P.S how loud is it? I am running 3:55's with a 28in tire and so rpms aren't bad at all. Furthest I drivethe car is 2.5 hours maybe 3 times a year tops..

    Thanks TTF,

    Scott S.

    that sounds b*tchin! I will actually lose more weight than 25lbs bc of the 10foot of downpipe and v bands. Would it be dumb if I did it just for the looks? haha
