My car was bought in Cali. and i kno that they have different emissions test, and my friend said that there is a hose that is running from my exhaust to my intake or something of that manner, and he said if you take it off you can get about 10 hp from it....

has anyone heard of this and if so where is this hose..

also he said that in like '99 GT's went to 280 hp and that since mine is from Cali and i live in Texas now that mine is under powered..

whats up with that?

alot of cars have an EGR, exhaust gas reciculation, that actually put a small amount of your exhaust gasses back into the intake manifold. not sure about the mustang though, but the emissions are stricter in cali so maybe the tune is different?

so is there any chance that i am getting some hp takin out because of that?

EGR is actually Exhaust Gas Return, and is a valve. He's probably thinking of the older 5.0 cars. And they didn't/don't remove them, they just put an EGR spacer on them.
