Default Wooo! Got my Blackwing

What should I get next?

Being the complete newbie to modding, it seems odd that only a filter could add the 15hp that the little marketing logos say they do. And is that bhp or rwhp? A B&B PRT is in my future, but it'll have to wait until next month, after my credit card bill comes in.

Special thanks to RichardG at Exit28 :)

StormCrow,

Like you, I just installed my Blackwing (very nice addition) and am now looking for an exhaust. Was set on the Corsa Indy with pro tips, but have been reading alot of good thing about the B & B PRT's. Any idea of the benefits of one over the other.

Thanks and good luck with the mod's, have a feeling there going to be very addictive.

B&Bs are more of a muscle car sound with a better idle and Indys are a more exotic sound, the idle is not as nice. JMO.
