This auction is for the picture of an HKS DP


What it does is reduce restriction in your exhaust, more importantly it reduces heat from the pre-cat, and usually raises your boost by 1-3 PSI... so be carefull and have someone doubble check the install with the boost pattern before you stomp on it...

not all that much since the exhaust will still be restricted somewhat. what most people don't realize is most of the gains they see are from the added boost mainly.

We're talking about removing 1 out of 2 restrictions, unrestricted I agree... but removing one should be fine as log as he can controll his boost... (I.E. under 13lbs) And with 2-3 lbs of added boost you should see a 15-30 hp Jump, maybe more...
