Before I made the decision to buy the 2010...I had researched and priced out all the diffeent systems. I was gonna go with the FRPP Bullitt not because of the performance gains..because they were less than some of the other systems..but because it LOOKED better under the hood of my stock car than any other system. I wanted the car to maintain the stock look and the FRPP would have done that

i was running a JLT with canned tune on the livewire and picked up about 15 rwhp, a dynotune got me about 10 more. the bigger piping, open air filter, and bigger maf housing (89mm) make a difference over the stock air box. i would like to hear from someone with real dyno numbers that show the hp increase with only a tuner before i make any conclusion in the performance of the tuner alone. as far as my experience goes, the tune got me 10 rwhp.

This CAI comparo test shows a 10 hp increase over stock with only a tune(91 octane) and the stock air intake.

To me, not having an intake, is like going to a whorehouse and using your finger instead of your johnson. Yeah, it's still fun, but it could be a lot better.

Wish I could find the stock Shelby mufflers. Those are neat.

I just switched my stock out for borla so I have a set of shelby mufflers sitting around. Feel free to make an offer...

And some of the aftermarket parts are weak...but the name brand manufacturers are pretty good, with good quality parts. C&L makes a great CAI, the FRPP CAI is nice as well and will let you keep your warranty intac.
