Default do you really loose hp?

I want to delete the silencors and place after market mufflers. I was thinking about straight piping after the primary cats with a 2.25 pipes. Is it true you can loose hp? Will a H pipe or a Y pipe help?

You dont lose HP, you gain it, its torque you loose. Even then its extremely slight, you can barely tell at low end from a dead stop.

Highly debatable, for a street machine an H-pipe is the most reasonable way to go...... but for me it was true dual

Actualy you Move power to higher RPM's

You will feel sluggish before 3g, but will pick it up after abour 3500 i'm talking about straight flow after cats.
