16v Exhaust performance was=Re[2]: 200hp goal
A header may help, but given the flex, I think under hard driving you
would be hard pressed to make it last more than 1 year.
The down pipe flows pretty good from my understanding, but when mine
bites the dust I am going to replace it with the larger Techtoinics
version which is 2.25" as oppsed to 2". It is essentially a stock
setup but larger diameter and a free flowing CAT. Maybe hollow out
the cat and just stick with 2.25" all the way back.
Messing with the resonator may do more harm than good as it may cause
some back pressure problems and back fires, but I dont know.

Good question. I have myself a Scorpion rear muffler with dual DTM
upswept tips (which is good for at least 40hp on sight alone :) ). But
I also want to remove the busted header that I have right now and try
out the stock mani/dp with gutted cat and no main muffler(i.e.
resonator). I'm hoping that the little resistance that I'll be removing
will be good for a coupla hp. And if I feel that the stock mani/dp is
too restrictive, out it will go and in with a new header.
Sorry, once again I assumed that the proper exhaust system would
provide me with some modest gains.
