Default Hooker LT's and True duals V. Stock manifolds and Catback

What are the gains im going to get from the LT's and true duals compared to what i have now? the true dual set up is 2.5 inch pipe with an X pipe and 2 magnaflow mufflers with turn downs? what gains should i see in the 1/4 mile it runs 13.8's now uncapped at the stock Y pipe with a K&N cold air intake and a mail tune from solomon

are you simply looking to improve your et on the 1/4?

do you spin off the line?

If so, a set of drag radials, new gears

then, put the car on a diet and say buh bye to A/C, rear seats, get some skinnies for up front, lightweight driveshaft, windows and ask Solomon to build you a racing fuel tune for when you tank up on racing fuel at the track and load that tune.

seriously, if you are just looking to lower your et then go with gears, some drag radials (you'll need them with gears) and ask Solomon for a 100-103 octane tune (when you mix 110 with the 93 in the tank)

I have long tubes but it wasn't to lower my et. I never dyno'd the car but do a search and you will see what some have gained from long tubes.

13.6's and hopefully a 13.5x. Good luck.
