Car Modding dictionary:

Cheap: This word usually comes with no reliability, changes to screw up your engine, no warranty. Cheap and modding do not go together. You have to pay to play.

even out flow on an even firing motor... thats a wonderful idea...

there is no power difference between the midpipes just tone... well there isn't a power difference at a bolt on stage... once you start cramming 300+ horse power out the tires then simple modifications to the exhaust will be noticed

take a flow test of the car even firing refers to the cam fire intervals it has nothing to do with exhaust gas, gas tend to find the easiest escape, in most cars that is bank one, ford is no different with 2 separate pipes exhaust gases will favor the passenger side
