At best 15-20rwhp if you have a non-restrictive cat-back. Of course if you have a blown and heavly cam'd motor, then you might get near the advertised gains...on a good day.

Not sure what I had bone stock :0 but in my sig shows what I had with catted y-pipe and mac mids. The nly thing that seemed to change with the mac's is I lost some low end torque. I've done no chasis improvements, and the sexy twisting the car used to do during a hard 1-2 shift and on some 2-3 shifts was pretty much gone

The sound is insane Shrugs

Im getting a 228R installed soon, and optedn to go with pacesetter LT's..

Still using my borla catback, but Might go with a magnaflow.. to tame the sound down a little.

I'd say a good 20rwhp with the ORY. Make sure you clean up the welds and I'd lose the ball-flange and weld in a Hooker collector.

Ground clearance is great but it has been known to bang on the drivers side. This is similar to what I used on mine to fix all the problems http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...id=528&pcid=54
