Thank you.

For sure, it would take a lot of $$$ to do it, but someone to do a direct back to back to back to back to back set of dynos to actually see how they all stack up on a stock car would be nice... That would be the final point in all of it.

True that is the case, but most people don't buy an exhaust for cruising. They buy it to have the highest hp gain/$$ invested. That's why SRI's for this car don't really do well to those people. The ones that buy them like the form over function and accept a slight loss in top end HP.

I'm not saying there is anything fundamentally wrong with them, just if you want high numbers, they are not the route to go with this motor.

No prob!

I went with the K & N and i like it. It wasn't for a huge power gain but it made the car a bit snappier, looks good and was easy to install. I was also waiting for my fast intentions exhaust and needed some kind of mod to tide me over.

Doesnt it void your warranty?

XwChriswX

Adding a part can only (Legally) void your warranty if the failure can be directly attributed to what You did.

i.e. You change from the stock cats to Test pipes, and blow an o2 sensor. They can choose to not replace the o2 sensor under warranty.

But if you say, put an intake on your car, they can't void your warranty when a brake line fails.




They just use that as fear inducing talk because most people don't take the time to know what the ins/outs are about warranties.
