Yahoo...welcome me to the 500whp club!
Took my car to the dyno today...and the results were....drum roll...
507whp and 556wtrq. Just look at the monstrous low end torque!
Thanks Eurocharged!

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

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.

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

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.
