Default My Stainless steel pipes.

I have my stainless steel pipes are installed and are polished to a beautiful finished. I still have to polish a couple of welds but look and SOUND fantastic. I can't believe the difference in sound between the mild steel and stainless !

Much,....deeper and throatier. Sounds like a Pro-Stock lol
I will include some pics here. I may,....be selling these as a "Gilmore Kit" for most cobra replicators as the primaries are 2" and extra long for a custom fit for your application. I will be selling these in the for sale section soon. I'm tickled to death with them.

We made a chassis run with the old pipes and also the new SS pipes to see the difference. Through the rpm range from 2,500 to 6,000. The HP and TQ numbers varies throughout the test. It was from 12-40 gain.

The impressing number was 12. My best bud with the Mustang Dyno can describe the numbers a lot better than I can. As soon as I can get his email with the dyno sheet, I'll post it. I have a new copies/scanner but I haven't red how to do it yet, need to read the information.

The mufflers are the louvered style with little a SS packing just behind the muffler housing. Even my wife says it's not much louder than my old LSC cobra pipes. Going up a higher hill does sound a bit louder. I love the entire pipes. It sounds radical !

I plan on taping another Dyno run as I did not have my camcorder at this run.
I have attached several photo's of my "Gilmore Kit" as we were welding and the finished product.

More details to come. And send me a PM if you wish.
