I disagree.

Look at the dynos and listen to the clips of the Invidia Q300.

Same here. I just don't see $300 and an hour or two more work is worth the 5-9 HP you MAY get with the Stillen over the drop ins with the HKS smooth pipe. Thats a lot of money per HP when you do the...

Curious. Did you do the work or did you have someone do it for you?

How long did it take?

My crank pulley required quite a bit of finish to get it to fit.
