Exhaust tail pipes. This is going to cause uproar
Oh excuse the pun, hehehe
Well, I have a tuning bachground, and a few years back, I worked for a company, that actually tested Tuning parts. I can tell you, All the idiots who spent thousands on bolt-on parts, only to find their souped up motor actually made less power, then standard, For everyone I saw, i would be a rich man now, if i took a £ from everyone of them!
Anyway, was digressing away from the tread title. We used to test exhaust, using a Superflow 350. and the rear boxes with twin outlets, never ever came near the power flow, the single outlet made. Simple reason, the gas air is slowed down, at the split, and then exits from 2 pipes.
So my point is this, having 4 oulets on the Maser, is only really for show. For power, only one outlet per side. You will see race Ferraris, lose all the outlets, and have nice single ones, for power/torque. But then, the Maser would not look right, or would it with just 2 meaty exhausts? Would also like tp compare sounds, with the Larini vs custom single pipes. Prob sound more American burble and Thunder, i would guess.
Only real way to compare, is a car on a Rolling Road, with first, OE exhaust, then Larini, then Custom.
