thanks trill..i get it know. so the car after the mods might be 240-250 HP at the engine but at the wheels only 190-200
Exactly.

And as someone said earlier, 3 mods that add 10whp each won't add 30whp together. Say exhaust gives you 10whp...and then you add a set of headers that claim a 10whp gain...well part of that 10whp stated gain was probably already given by the exhaust, making the headers a 7-8whp mod or whatever.

I'm one of the lucky ones that's at the top end of what you could expect with these mods. I dyno'd (on a Mustang Dyno) 202 hwp and 228 lbs torque with my auto using JBA's "H" pipe dual exhaust, C&L intake and Doug's 92 octane performance tune. Not dissapointed at all!

ok thanks alot, Do u think the gains on a JBA true dual with the H pipes is that much better than the magnaflow Y pipe duals....And are there any special connections that have to be done with the H pipe since the car doesnt come with that?

I did a before an after dyno of a dual Y pipe kit to an X pipe kit, NA the gain was 2Hp which is debatable.

I've heard clips from both, can't tell the difference. And the same for the magnaflows, Y and X sounded the same.

For the JBA kit, now, its a direct bolt on. Have to notch the bumper or get a GT bumper though.
