did you get extractors as well or just from the manifold back? or just from the muffler back?? did u get a resonator put on or left it off?? Are you using the standard cat?? all this stuff will depend, getting extractors will if anything give u a little more kilowatts power but probably not noticable

just wondering what a killer watt is? Is it like when you say "hey killer" and he turns and says "what"

If you didn't put extractors on it, very minimal kilowatt increase, probably wont even be noticable

kw is just a unit that power is measured in, such as distance in meters the general rule goes 1 horsepower = .75 killerwatts

yeah there won't be much difference until u get extractors....Expect to pay around $400-500 for a nice set of extractors (incl. install) and if its a manual id get rid of the resonator as well....

Mines loud but have never been pulled up by the cops nor have they said anything about it when i have been pulled up and checked over.....
