[Illini]

I hope that you don't beleive that I think that I have 300 at the crank reread my first post. Notice the "riiiight" after the 300 hp sentence, that my friend is sarcasm. You know like in Austin Powers, Dr evil always said Riiight. I was kidding so don't go off saying Illini says he's got 300hp and start sh1t, cuase I never said it seriously. Hence the"riiiight" at the end of the sentence. Tireburner reread my post, you got confused. The way it is worded implies that a catback alone would not produce 20-30hp at the wheels, nor would a offroad pipe alone produce that result with a stock or mildly modded motor. Well the offroad pipe would help hp at higher revs, but the loss of backpressure would hurt you more in downlow tq, which is more important. Hell most catbacks are more for sound then power on stock or mild engines. Okay you might gain a couple ponies and that combined with the aggressive sound might make it worth while(not to me). But the better catbacks are usually 300-650 bucks. It's up to the cars owner what they want to do, not me, not you. I'm just saying I get tired of magazine, bench racers telling how they got super duper mega hp from a little mod that have naturally aspirated cars. Sermons over.
