Update: after a new set of stock pipes I got from Jay at VMS I decided that I hate the way they sounded…just too quiet and it had a weird slurping sound when letting off the gas. I went ahead and cut my originals, gutted the baffles and packing, had them tig welded back together and re-polished myself (whole separate topic). It sounds like a race car from heaven and I absolutely love it!! The cops will likely arrest me but I’m willing to risk it as it’s only out for short weekend drives :-)
Now my main question. Since it’s essentially “straight piped “ do I need to have it tuned again? I haven’t noticed anything in terms of performance drop but it’s also just so hard to tell with 550hp and a lot of power normally. Logic tells me I should have it tuned again? but I’m curious what others folks think or perhaps had experience re-tuning after an exhaust modification.
Ps… did I mention it sounds glorious and I’m a firm believer everyone should have a straight pipe cobra
