On the rollers mine gained +4bhp and +2lb ft. Most noticable was the loss of the flat spot at 3500rpm and the extra MPG... about 40 extra miles to each tank. However it was alot noiser. Sounded fantastic when in the mood but for everyday driving was too boomy especially around the 2000-3000rpm area. I put my CAT back in so I was able to talk to my passengers.

lol it was that noisy! i thought it just made it more raspy?
ive got a full scorpion system, its not the loudest zorst but is just perfect not too loud or too quite, sounds mean after 3500revs but thats mainly coz of the induction kit.
did your car actually FEEL faster???
i thought the miles per gallon would go DOWN!! but 40 extra miles sounds wicked!!

My janspeed never felt faster, wasn't noisier or raspier either though.
It did gain 5bhp at the wheels though.

It was raspier at the top end > 5.5Krpm. I would often get a pop or bang when doing redline gearchanges especially 3rd-4th.
It did feel more responsive due to the removal of the flat spot. If I floor it in 3rd or 4th under 3500rpm I can definately feel the difference. Without the CAT it definately picked up quicker.
