Default What do they do??

I wonder how they test intake and exhaust produts. I mean they tell us cai will get us 8-9 hp at the wheels. We all know it didnt. And duals for us V6ers were supposed to get some number(cant remember it.) That also didnt work. What conditions do they test these under.

well, even if it's fly wheel, it'd be 24RWHP. that's actually believable on a cobra. i saw one put down 25RWHP more with JUST the filter.

no, as in JUST the filter. the car put down 425RWHP with just a K&N drop in filter and magnaflow catback. Acer can back me up on that one. it was during our stang club's dyno day.

Well I'm guessing he had 393 engine hp which comes out to 334 rwhp, now I'm thinking he had to have way more then just those two mods to come out to 425 RWHP, now if that's just engine hp, then it sounds about right, roughly 15 hp for the cats and about 17 for the filter give or take a few numbers from each.

ummm no. he had 400RWHP with just catback. nothing else. he put down 425RWHP after they put in a K&N FILTER. i know what i saw. acer knows what he saw. not even a chip in it. it just had catback and filter. you can argue all you want.

I was supposed to get 25 hp with my exhaust, 8 hp with the cai, and at least 15 with the tuner...so I should have like 240 hp. More like I have 200, maybe.
