Ummmm no..... I don't know what the crock of **** about 35HP from a catback + midpipe is....


You will get maybe 3 out of a CAI if it has a heat shield and is plastic. You will get MAYBE 10 if you get an O/R X pipe + straight-through catback. And from the tuner if it is a good custom tune with the timing all the way advanced you could hope for 8-10. So I'd say 20 at the most....

actually doing some research this weekend at the bookstore, and they had some dyno pulls in one of the 4.6 books and only the 03/04 cobra got something like 20hp off an exhaust because of the back pressure created by the S/C was decreased. I'll say with all mods you're lucky if you get 20 at the wheels.

for a catback + mid pipe? Ha wanna tell me what catback and midpipe combo gives you that much? catback + midpipe will give you about 12-13rwhp and about 15-20 hp at the crank.

jeebus man! You're about to lose your speaking privileges in the 4.6 room saying **** like that.

Okay first you can only put one (1) x-pipe on your car. Try as you might, that second one just won't hook up right Secondly if you don't know what you are talking about then shhhhhh.... Your CAI will most likely net you less than 5RWHP. I dunno what kind of chip you have, but a diablo tune from what I keep seeing on here will net you less than 15RWHP. And a midpipe, while a great mod is restricted with your stock catback (due to its smaller diameter and stock mufflers) will net you probably less that 8RWHP

I would guess that you have added about 12-18RWHP. Please remember that the stock 265 is not actual RWHP.

How do I find out what the actual RWHP is?? Do I have to dyno it?

I'm sure it does, however the 265 is just a rating given to the car. I'm sure the bullits dyno atleast 5 more HP at the wheels than the GT.
