Hello everyone, I know you can buy aftermarket OTA pipes that are a bit larger in diameter, and do not retain the resonators. I was considering cutting out the resonators and installing straight pipe in their spot, and just use clamps so I can swap them out between racing and road trips.
I've searched this a few times, but the threads usually end up nowhere. What's your opinion on the amount of restriction in the stock OTA pipes with the resonators? And if you do believe they are restrictive, do you believe the diameter of the pipe, or the resonators are causing the restriction.
Right now my car has a cat-less header system followed by the factory ota pipes into MBRP mufflers, (that seem to mimic the stock OTA pipe size pretty well). I like the mellow sound, but hate to be leaving any power on the table. I simply cannot see paying hundreds of dollars for ota pipes that are larger than the mid-pipe leading into them. And I really don't like how damn loud most Coyote Stangs are, I even see ones that probably aren't making 400 to the wheels that are screaming loud, laughable!
