Look at the SIG Long Tube headers, High Flow Cats, X-Pipe, Corsa Mufflers. Theres only 1 stock section of piping left

Sorry bro, I didn`t even think about looking at your sig.

With long tubes those #`s do seem too low. I would think you would be somewhere between 290 and 300 rwhp. Do you have access to another dyno to compare with? The person who is doing the dyno run makes a big difference. Maybe try a different shop.

Yeah... but I don't have another 100 bucks to drop today, and apparently I just noticed that somebody scraped against my car at shin level in the fender to halfway thruogh the passenger side door. Today sucks!!!

Did it get scratched at the shop? If so I would expect them to take care of that.

I think it`s insane how much it costs to do dyno runs. Was that$100.00 just for the dyno pulls or for the pulls and a tune?

the drivetrain loss about 3% more for autos and they might have dynod it in 3rd gear not 4th....the numbers are low, esp for a dynojet....post the graph please and email it to brent.

a dyno is just a measuring tool for tuning. dont get too bummed out. Now hit the tracks cuz thats where it really counts

Those numbers do seem low....The performance mods I have are full exhaust with an o/r H-Pipe(minus LT headers, which add the most!), UDPs, CAI and 93 octance canned tune and I pulled 301rwhp and 316rwtq...I would say take it to another dyno and get it custom tuned and you will see very close to 300rwhp.

Quoted for Truth! Seems everyone on internet forums gets so hung up on the dyno numbers. Is that what cars are for, running on the dyno? Screw the dyno numbers I say, and lets get some ET's on that thing! ET's and trap speed are a more true indication of where you and your car are than some piece of paper!

Dyno racing is fine, but all dyno's read different for more reasons than I can list. Dyno's are really only good for showing relative improvement, ie before and after a mod. Dont let the numbers get you down. Run it at a well prepped track and that will really let you know how you compare to others.

just my 2 cents.
