Race pipe Installed- No 20whp !!

Perhaps when you are not in boost, but once under boost whatever helps the air flow better will help make more power.

You can't apply exhaust rules for NA cars when dealing with FI cars. Best exhaust for a turbo car is none at all.

another thing you have to take in consideration is where the extra 20 hp is at. like if it is right when the turboe kicks in at 3000 rpm then you might not feel it as much cause it is peak hp and that's the high point of the hp increase. now after you look at the dyno if you get it done then you should see some increase all the way through the power band , even if it is very little like 2-5 hp. either way open exhaust is way better then restricted.

As long as there are gains ACCROSS THE ENTIRE POWERBAND. Great!!

there should be but your really not gonna feel 3-5 hp it is so slight that you really cant tell. and if the peak is right when the turbo spikes and you have wheel spin you really wont tell that and the traction control messes with the power too.(hump)

This thing is a beast!! I wasn't going to get on the interstate but there was an SRT-4 getting on so I followed. Caught him with the quickness up to about 140mph. Turns out he was stage 2. He said he saw me coming and tried to get away but I just kept gaining on him. (rockon)

The ECU does learn and now I'm convinced that some power (not sure how much) was a result of the BOV, & Race pipe. Anyone considering the racepipe give it 5 days maybe 200 miles. That's what mine took. Again this is all feeling but after 17k miles I know how it felt prior and where its now. Dyno in 2 weeks to let you all know the physical numbers.

On another note, when I called Turbo XS they also said that they saw 60+ hp with no exhaust. So there is something to be had with the exhaust change.... Looks like it may just take some time with our computers being so advanced.
