Brought her to an exhaust place to confirm my resonator's causing the issue, and was told by the guy that changing the extractors would net me 6-7 extra HP! :shock:

its a made up number yes, but a set of extractors is worth at least 5hp.

I wish I had access to a dyno and Id tell you exactly.

have you seen th epics Ive posted of stock headers cut open?

they suck.
