31whp in conjunction with their catback and intake. i don't think there's an individual dyno, but those are still impressive numbers.

maybe i missed something but isn't a CAI a CAI most are 3" w/ w/e filter u put on the end of it. ( k&n personally ). Exhaust is magnaflow so it better not be a bottle neck for 600 some bucks! I should see every bit of that 31whp

Any word on if I order now if i have to wait 5 months or it will come in a matter of weeks?

There has never been any actual proof of a 31 hp gain.

Those are large HP gains for a company that has admitted that they have no dyno numbers for their complete system.

I really like the way that sounds as it just idles. I expect much the same sound for my DD as it is very similar to your build.

With your mods you should manage that. Then again you could add a P&P'ed head with cams and make it with room to spare.

Well i must say i wouldnt do this again for a million dollars ! true story !

Man i dont know if it was only my header but there was no way of getting one of the bolts on i had to get another and cut it to make it a little shorter !

Theres always one bolt or screw or something that slows you down ! i spent most of the time installing these things on one bolt took me an hour and a half till i finally gave up and customized a bolt to fit .

These things do sound crazy ! cant wait to go to the track and have people thinking why my car sounds the way it does !

High rpm def sounds like a wrx !

I am planning to do that once returning from my deployment. I want to see how far it will go before going into the actual engine.

I still can't say I like the sound. Its a cobalt, I'd be embarrased if mine sounded that loud. If its on an SS .. ok you have "some what close" to the power needed to sound that loud. Keep in mind guys we have Chevy's if you want the ricer sound buy a Honda.

LOL simply opinion. I heard the one they hosted that was their entire setup .. It wasn't bad, everyone Ive heard people post w/ different exhausts sound horrible.

I can handle some rumble to my exhaust, BUT when I hear some douche bag flying down my street at 2 AM w/ an obnoxiously loud exhaust and I look out hoping to see a nice car & see a Celica w/ a loud exhaust I wanna punch them. If you have to talk loud in the car over your exhaust its TOO F"IN LOUD .. LOL

I hate how the crappiest cars can sound good through insulated walls

I have a 3'' down pipe with a high flow cat and a 2.5 cat back from magnaflow .
JBP recomended that i didnt remove the cat because i would lose power

and as for sound its deep and at wide open throttle high rpm sounds intimadating !!
i think with no cat it wowuld be really loud and im defenetly staying away from sounding like a honda.

I already had 2 people ask me wtf i did that made my in line 4 sound like a wrx .

Im trying to get vids up but my system acting up im gona try from a friends house .

Definitely, however either way 375 or w/e it goes for just isn't affordable for me, if it came w/ a down pipe i'd be ALLLLL over it .. or if somebody bought it didn't like it and wants to sell it to me for cheap! HAHA
I'm interested to hear what it sounds like so pm me when you get it up

Thx
