nice hp difference

Just got my rb presilencer and rb streetable header attached to my corksport catback. The results...... My cats must have been WAAAY clogged . The horsepower difference with my setup has to be in the range of 25 hp (that is just a guess though, maybe less, maybe more). Regardless, the hp difference is quite noticeable. BTW: Thanks to RxRot!

Header over stock functioning exhaust is a huge increase.

It is only really loud under hard acceleration. However, I still push the clutch when passing cops.

Doesn't work so well when you're next to one at the light.... Ask me how I know.

Lets put it this way. When a cop pulls you over and the very first words out of his mouth are "Please tell me theres something wrong with your muffler." It's not a good sign.

I only got a fix it ticket out of the deal, but then again I only had it up to 3K too. The cop turned around to come get me. He wasted me off the line at that light. (for obvious reasons)

I did before after dyno results with the header presilencer over a streight pipe exaust using stock manifold and the difference was 13rwp so your claims are pretty accurate.

Since you people are obviously retarded...

I WAS TRYING TO BE QUIET!!!! I am not dumb enough to launch off a light with a ******* cop next to me. HELLO.... I don't like getting pulled over!

I'd love to drag a cop crown vic. That'd be funny as hell when I wasted them. I'm just not about to do it on a damn public street with a cop in the car driving it.

Speaking of Jimmy, at OIR there's a police cheif that drag's an unmarked cop car to the track; he only pulls 15's. It's funny as hell to see drag races hit their brakes when he hits the lights in mid-run!

I did. After he did it a couple of times, they made him either keep the lights off, or keep them on the entire time.

My friend Kenny raced him on the way home from a stoplight, and smoked his *** to about 80. He didn't want to go any higher, in case the dude was an *******. Imagine the ticket for drag-racing a cop on city streets...
