It is either more power or you love to drop the hammer harder and more often.

By the way how do they sound with the headers?

Don't know about yours but on the dyno I gained 14 RWHP.

dyno's show around a 17hp/tq gain from stock to Corsas. I had muffler elims before and therefore had no torque, so it was night and day difference with the Corsas.

I have never perceived any sort of gain with any exhaust modifications I have ever done. But, I wish I did! :nonod:

:iagree: Went from stock, to eliminators, to Corsas. No change in my opinion, but I don't have dyno comparisons. My time slips from last year's cruise-in (eliminators) and this year's cruise-in (Corsa) are very close.

Maybe the sound creates a mental condition that the driver then interprets as increased HP.

Sorta like after washing the car you know, doesn't it run better?
