Stock with a K&N my car put out 112 hp, and 117 ft lbs of torque. after my chip installation and removal of resonator and new muffler i was at 116 hp and 121 ft lbs. now that i made a "header" type deal on the car replacing the whole cat with a pipe the car is up to 120 hp and 129 ft lbs of torque not bad i guess for a 4cyl right?

This is just another example of why I tell people to start modding their exhaust from the cat-forward. dan
