I will be fully bolted shortly to include an Intake, Ported & Polished Intake Manifold and Throttle Body and Catless headers... I'm either going to put on a catless exhaust or I'm going to keep the stock exhaust and put on electronic cut outs. This thread will most likely determine which path I choose. I'm am looking for the highest, reliable horsepower possible. Here are my questions:
1- Will the IS-F's N/A 5.0L motor have enough back pressure to run properly if I run the cut outs directly after the O2 sensor in the headers?
2- Will cut outs yield a higher horsepower than a 2.5 inch catback with no cats?
3- Will the constant opening and closing of the cut outs have any affect on the ecu and not allow the car to run at it's greatest potential, as the cut outs would be installed after the O2 sensor?
4- Being that the headers will come with an electronic trick to prevent a CEL, wouldnt the O2 sensors be getting the same voltage all the time, thus eliminating any differences and the potential problem of #3?
Thanks
