Well, I, for one, had custom pipes built to be a bit more quiet, with the knowledge that it would cost some horsepower. Dyno'ing with pipes on gives a truer representation of what the engine is delivering at the flywheel when it's actually in the car. If you're arguing that dynos are inherently so inaccurate that any effort to improve on how they represent the "true strength" of what you're dropping in to your Cobra is just a waste of time, well, then I'll just give up....
