1,238 rwhp

Tech squad is gonna get you......

~7WHP.

I would take that extra $1k and invest in traction. Suspension, tires/wheels, etc...

Mine is making almost the same as cars with longtubes, in some cases more, to me longtubes aren't worth the cost or hassel of installation for the gain you'll get. They may do much better on a fi car, but for a bolt on car I don't see the need. For 299 the lethal x is well worth the price. I picked up 25 rwhp with it and magnaflow street catback without touching the tune except to turn off rear o2

good to know since LT's were on my to do list.

FWIW - ARH showed improvements of 32whp

some independent testing might be a little more reliable

I know ours is not Lethal's. But our BBR 3" Off Road X-pipe for the 2011 5.0 4V makes on average 20 rear wheel horsepower. We see on average around 30 rear wheel horsepower with longtubes and x-pipe.

From the pics on your website yours looks to be exactly like Lethal's off road X. I'm betting they are made by the same company.

Sounds good to me.

From my understanding, theirs is made somewhere completely different then where ours is made... Ours is made right here in Boca Raton, at a local custom exhaust center. Ours is very similar to the Magnaflow design.

JLT picked up 22WHP with the ARH LT's with a tune.

Lethal picked up 14WHP with their O/R X-pipe without a tune.

Level the field with a tune on the Lethal O/R X and it becomes a very small margin if any at all.

$1K dollars of wasted money.

I would buy the BBK shorties using a O/R X over LT's any day and still be $700 ahead.

 

[Wish I Had a Nice Car]

LTs just seem like a huge waste of money for a bolt on car. The extra 700 into some suspension or tires would easily make up the 10hp it seems.

 

[cobra mike]

At first I was going to get the long tubes, but when I saw the price I opted not to...lol.. after I put the o/r x on and got what I did, im glad I dident spend the extra money. If I had ported heads and some big cams shure the gains would be better with lt. Car sounds good, and runs pretty strong for what little I have done to it. Lts are just not a cost efective mod
