I saw this package on a car at a show a few weeks ago, but never could find the owner - so didn't get any details. IMO, 25 HP would be quite a stretch for what is shown there.

Add $500 for a tune and you'd probably get there with that package.

Heck, the fender badges are worth 15HP

I will admit that I am not the most technically inclined when it comes to car engines.

But That sounded like a fairly big gain for ... $1k ... but I wasnt sure.

I am an Artist.. so if its good looking I get it!! otherwise I am in trouble.

If you read the description they say "up to 25 HP" so it means that you will probably not see that much of a power increase.

RUNNNN!!!

unreal how companies can claim such things!!

all you are looking at there is intake and exhaust. switching out both from stock might yield you 10rwhp.

also, the loudmouth is a $300 exhaust, and the blackwing is a $250 intake = $550-$600...... wonder where the other $400 comes from?!?

.....maybe the decal???
