I know it is done on E55s. I'm saying on the C32, the exhaust sound with no cats is absolutely horrible. I know from personal experience.

Take care all of you my friends/Michel
how did the upgrade cost you? and who did the install for you?

Funny how in this thread and others, the talk is now cams. It looks like we're running out of mods as a collective group. Let's make the leap - how many horses can a Stage 2 C32 get from just cams?

That's what I want to know. I want to see the dyno graphs of before/after. I love the 32's power band, and don't want to damage its characteristics

i think it's like minimum 15-20hp.....i think Vadim's opinion was port/polish/cams was worth 40-50hp. not sure tho.

the power bump will be essentially all upper rpm tho. but that's where i like it.
most folks want more torque.

I assumed the gains would be up top too. On other cars, that was what I wanted, but I love the C32s wide power band, and I'll sacrafice a little low/mid range if the top gains are huge. I'm definitetly not going to port my head without seeing hard before/after data. I can't even find before/after data from the E55 guys. There are a handful of guys that have been talking about porting for ages, but still haven't done it.

Low range is bad with cams but in the top, gains are huge. With cams.
You can realy feel the power. Its like a Suzuki 1000R.
