Message I can't give you exact numbers but the physics of laminar flow physics indicates that even small changes in direction or diameter of pipes makes a significant difference in flow. One of the reasons some cars use side pipes is for the shorter pipe length. Imagine fifteen feet of straight pipe sticking out the back of your Z and what that would do to your exhaust flow, never mind finding a parking space ;c)
