Hey everyone, new to the forum.
I have a '03 3.8l V6 'stang and also a stereotypical college student with limited money.
I'm aware the 'smart' thing to do would be to wait until I could afford the full exhaust that would make me happy.
However, I'm very much considering jerry-rigging a full exhaust so Instead of buying a system for $500-700 I can manage it for $240. I already removed the muffler and passing inspecting isn't an issue. So, I was just going to have a shop chop off the pipe right at each cat, and instead of having it converge into a Y-pipe have it come straight out through the end onto some 2.5'' tips. (Pic to show off my MS paint skills)
My question is what am I to expect in the HP range? More specifically, am I losing out on gains against actually buying a full exhaust? I'm aware I'm not going to be pulling 20 extra HP, but I'm unsure of the specifics.
