Actually i dont think it would hit 225rwhp. He ran a 3" exhaust on a completely stock car... And if someone is stupid enough to believe that that has 400hp, then they wont be able to tell that it doesnt.

What a 'clean looking engine bay', nice yellow butt-splice beside the A/C ( I hear the yellow one's are good for 10hp ) and the bx wire armour under the hood of car, WTF! [sm=smiley21.gif]
