Seriously? I don't think I've even seen a low 500whp E55 touch 600wtrq.

I think you can pick up a little torque if you add your secondary cats back in.It wont be much but you might trade 15ftlbs down low for 15whp up top.

Probably...but that would only make my first gear even MORE useless...lol.

BTW...my exhaust is 2.5" through an X-pipe all the way to the gas tank where it becomes 2.75". I wanted to go 3" but I just don't think it'll make a difference.

But, I think adding a 3 inch exhaust would add power over the 2.5/2.75... all about getting that gas out and gone

then he could add the cats and do a 3 inch and balance out and gain some in both, right?

Not quite. I honestly believe 3" piping will only make me lose BOTH horsepower AND torque.

When I had my G35 supercharged...I had a 3" SINGLE pipe exhaust on and put down 417whp. I then disconnected the exhaust and put down the same power. After that...I put a DUAL 2.25" exhaust and still put down the same power.

I'm pretty sure a 2.5" DUAL exhaust like mine should have no restriction even at 600whp.

Exactly.

Too big of an exhaust will cause low flow. Low flow kills power

2.5" piping is plenty big. they run that the majority of the time in the mustang world and make into the 700HP, 800HP range with little restrictions.
