If more power is “Better”, then the answer is yes. But you must adjust for more airflow to get a more better running motor..ie more air will need more fuel too if a result is to be more power.

Longer stacks as in longer runners means more torque while shorter ones mean more power. Not lots, but it all contributes to a freer flowing intake which helps your freer flowing exhaust to make a bit more power/torque and slightly better fuel economy. You note vintage racers usually have anywhere from2.5 to 6 inch stacks. Some with a stocking for a coarse filter, most just hoping nothing of consequence enters the throat… I have a set of 2.25 inch stacks in my 3.25 inch K&N’s on my MGB and they seem to help. Just the ho hum stock setup on my Magnette.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>From:</span></b><span class=yiv1013556227apple-converted-space><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="mailto:zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank">zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net</a><span class=yiv1013556227apple-converted-space> </span>[<a href="mailto:zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net">mailto:zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net</a>]<span class=yiv1013556227apple-converted-space> </span><b>On Behalf Of<span class=yiv1013556227apple-converted-space> </span></b>Richard Greenberg<br><b>Sent:</b><span class=yiv1013556227apple-converted-space> </span>Wednesday, November 13, 2013 12:34 PM<br><b>To:</b><span class=yiv1013556227apple-converted-space> </span>List for the Z Magnette Group - North America<br><b>Subject:</b><span class=yiv1013556227apple-converted-space> </span>Re: [Zmagnette] Stub stacks</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>What is a stub stack?
