Aftermarket Exhaust
Fellas -

Any of you move to some type of Downpipe or aftermarket exhaust but one that kept the cats on? Anything in conjunction with a tune? Trying to stay within a certain DB limit while still squeezing out some additional HP and torque response.

Thanks.

You are going to get a lot more out of a tune than anything that you can do with the exhaust system,

go to a less restrictive air filter element and tune. Will work wonders.

I would consider a dry filter and not oil treated. MAFs can get fouled over time as a result.

weistec makes them but stupid$.
