seat of the pants HP feel is vauge. it you put 4.10s in a stock fox it will feel like you added 30 HP. if you dont have headers and you have a cam and ported heads you NEED them. you probably will feel a difference.

I noticed a difference.... I put on bbk ceramic shorties, bassani catted x pipe and flowmaster cat back. I lost a lot of low end torque. I did not loose a little. I lost a lot. I was very disappointed about the swap. I know that I needed it due to future upgrades and it was the original exhaust but it sucked.
