hate to burst your bubble, but you wont come close to that.

what ever hp/tq the NA guys are gaining off the 3 cat deletes + jpipe, you'll maybe see half of that. thats just the way it is when your already SC'd.

dont you remember when the procats first came out? the NA guys average gain was about 18-20whp, while the boosted guys were averaging only 8-10whp.

so basically the SC squeezes most of the power out of our car? the combo kit just fine tunes it? still i suppose i'll get better gas milage and 15hp.....(i hope!)
i have stock exhaust too, so i know my car is suffocating a bit

I always thought f/i required the least amount of backpressure possible to gain power?

So I do believe with the stock exhaust he will def see some solid numbers


Any chance to do a before/after dyno, course they'd be in different days unless where you are installing it they've got a dyno on hand lol

most definetely if we were talking turbo, since it relies on the exhaust to produce the power. its not as critical when it comes to supercharging.

when your NA, these mods help your engine breath much better, since its doing it on its own, so opening up the exhaust in anyway will help hp for sure. since your SC, the exhaust is already flowing effeciently.

dont get me wrong, your going to feel some gains, but dont expect a HUGE amount, especially with the stock piping =/

i just installed my combo Rv6 combo kit and it sounds very nice, i still have a stock cat back (waiting on the XLR8 cat back) and it sounds nice, especially driving through the tunnels, it now has a lot deeper sound to it.
