MM used to have a shit ton of New Edge and even 4V info. Lots of guys building, researching and sharing about that. Before that they even had a sizeable 5.0 Windsor and 3.8 communities. They even had a few 2.3 guys.
Corral has turned into a disaster. It's still active, but I've never gone anywhere and gotten such bad and outright wrong information- actively hostile too. It's bordering on FB or other social media for bad info and hostility.
Funny seeing that AG has run even YellowBullet into the ground.
It's crazy seeing how much it changed almost overnight. It went from frequent posting and information from pretty knowledgeable members to a handful of people with <5 posts asking simple questions and spam bots reigning unchecked.
They must be making good money just on the little traffic they get from old posts because activity on all these forums they bought/changed plummeted as soon as they touched it.
Same with IG. Just a platform for people to flex their stimulus builds. I can only see so many builds of people showing off their bright and shiny new parts from [Insert vendor here].
Who needs that when you can put together a 10 minute video about your life riddled with ads? Then spam it to every other social media in hopes of gaining some semblance of traction and a couple pennies from youtube.

@rich5150 might have a Corral story for you.
Ehhh. I think I read somewhere that an X-pipe only offers 1-2 HP over an H-pipe.
We tested those a decade ago. The difference easily fall in the margin of error for dyno equipment:
