Just curious about the curve on a stock tailpipe
What was this meant to do? Does it cause any exaust restiction? Why doent it just exit straight out to the side? I was wondering this because of the recent airbox mod I did I looked for other restrictions in intake and exaust. I know about the Y pipe restiction, but does this hurt exhaust flow in any way. With the 07 claiming 317hp, I would like to know where the extra 12hp came from.

Re: Just curious about the curve on a stock tailpipe
The restriction in the exhaust is the y pipe. It is a general consensus that the extra power is smoke and mirrors, was already there. The 04 and up were under rated. It's all marketing.

Re: Just curious about the curve on a stock tailpipe
The Nismo CAI is not as good as the Volants we have installed.

Re: Just curious about the curve on a stock tailpipe
I was curious to see if you cut the curve off if it will change anything. I guess nobody has done this and I dont want to be the first. Maybe the exaust on the 07 has something to do with the extra power I will look as soon as I see one on a lot.

Re: Just curious about the curve on a stock tailpipe
I cut the curve off my 04 and had a chrome tip welded on. It looked 100x better.

Re: Just curious about the curve on a stock tailpipe
Who knows. The stock Titan pipe has a stupid looking bend, while the Armada has a smooth bend. To start with I had a Magnaflow tip put in place of that silly S bend on my truck. It made no difference. I gave it to a friend when I put my Zoomers on. Now that made a difference in my truck.

Re: Just curious about the curve on a stock tailpipe
I have always wondered this... and have come pretty close to hacking off the end of the thing a couple of times. I'd like to see it without.
