Also, does anything else needed to be done to my intake (stock K&N replacement) to exploit the y-pipes full potential. Thanks. '98 Contour SE 2.5 w/ Granny Tranny + stuff = still slow

Would it be worth it to go 2.5" piping just to get x amount of HP more or should I just say "F--- it, I've got 7 year old car, with an ATX and a tiny little V6" and not worry about squeezing every last HP out of something that is never going to be fast enough for me or anything else on the road. That is what I wanted to know. Instead, I got brutally told by Demon, I feel like such an idiot. '98 Contour SE 2.5 w/ Granny Tranny + stuff = still slow

If that's not readily available then the Trubendz is the best premade kit for the buck. Modifying the stock single exhaust is a waste of time really. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!

When you get it replace the stock resonator with a quality straight through design. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
