Cat back
Friday, June 23, 2006 9:06 PM
I just got my pacesetter cat back on and it sounds great!! I was sittin waitin for my car to be done and i was like hoping that it wouldnt sound ricey. I'm surprised by how deep it was, I didnt think that it would please me that much but it did. I now have intake, high flo cat and a cat back on my z, wut do u think the gains are if any or wut have other people seen?

Consider yourself EXTREMELY LUCKY if you see a 15 hp gain with a full exhaust.

And that will only be to the flywheel, good luck getting mor ethan 3-5 whp out of an intake exhaust combo, and even if you add a header your still not looking at more then 7-10 whp, if your lucky.

Lighter pulleys free up lost hp due to weight.
Engne uses less effort to do its thing, giving you back some hp.

Larger tbs help too since it looks like you're going all out.
Gonna have one for the 2.4L for sale.
Yes shameless plug I know.
