Anyone out there have any calculations on HP rating if 09 had a emissions rating of LEV like the 08's? The 09 received a few engine enhancements #1 being 10.5 to 11.0 compression. 201 HP is hard to swallow, but reality. Love the GEN1. Purchased a 08 end of January, love it.

The description of the revised K24 sounds like it has that stupid integrated exhaust manifold and directly coupled catalytic converter design that the J35 in my TL-S has. I hate that design, environmentally friendly or not. It can't be good for exhaust scavenging and the amount of heat it generates under the hood is insane (especially two of them like on the J35).

If it had a conventional manifold or header design, that alone I would think might boost peak HP potential, but would affect cold engine emissions.
