Performance Gains: In testing, this cat-back exhaust system resulted in gains up to +15 horsepower and +13 lbs. x ft. of torque, as measured on our in-house dyno.
X-Pipe Balance Tube: An X-pipe balance tube is used to equalize and evenly distribute exhaust pulses which minimizes exhaust drone, while increasing flow and performance
