If I keep the baffles in the cobra's - do you still loose some hp?
Everything I have read on here, your answer is "yes".
I know my experience with them was lost HP. I had MGM on the dyno several times, and different dyno's. All different hp.
Finally settled on one dyno and went from there. Added the Cobra's and done some carb work and dropped from 97 to 90. Ran em for about 5 months and then got real serious in making HP. Currently on the dyno I had used all the time I can get 100+ hp. Head work, port and relieve, and Viking pipes. I'm done playing, MGM is just being ridden, not by me, but it is getting miles added.
