[QUOTE="SoCalBlk03, post: 323094, member: 4227"] Cat= catalitic (sp) converter; smog equipment WOT- Wide Open Throttle Headers= the exhaust tubing that connects to the exhaust ports of the Head; hence the name. From the factory they are named exhaust manifolds and are inherently inefficient as assembly time takes presidence over performance in some areas. Not only torque but Hp as well. In the context I used prior, the LT's (long Tube headers) are generally accepted and proven to give you a torque advantage. Sorry I didn't mean to confuse. Think of the engine as a living thing. The inlet track (airfilter, tubing, throttlebody etc) allow the engine to inhale. While the exhaust allows it to exhale. Try inhaling through a straw then exhaling through a paper towel roll, it doesn't work very well. Finding the balance is the key to making power. That's why many bag on ricers as "bigger is better" it too often belived to be the solution. Thier giant air intakes and 4" fart can exhausts are extremely inefficient. Akin to trying to breathe with your lips wrapped around a traffic cone: it can be done but you'll eventually hyperventalate and pass out.. [/QUOTE]
