I never heard of anyone loosing top end power with one fitted. I fitted one to my non tuned tuned FG with a Herrod intake and if anything it made it feel more laggy with a bit more intake noise. Ended up taking the muffle delete pipe off a day later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its literally only there to quiet down the induction noise of the stock car. I'd be asking your tuner how the hell he can substantiate a loss of power by replacing the stock pipe. If anything it should be better as there is no gas speed loss with the solid pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be devo if I spent 200 bucks or whatever they are on one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
