I was a little sad, yes.
Otherwise, if you're just looking for an improvement over the stock straw-for-an-exhaust-pipe, a 2.5" crush bent system should certainly net you some hp gains. If you're looking for the best flowing system, mandrel bends are a MUST!
Actually I'm willing to bet any crush bent system will not outperform the stock SVT exhaust (which is mandrel bent BTW) with the resonator removed or probably even with it just replaced with a quality unit!
...and yeah 165 is about what a bone stock SVT pulls. (165-168 range)
Glad to see it's "perked" up now with a proper exhaust.
