exhaust
I want to get some more power out of my car, but I am well past the day of having ricer exhaust.
Can I get more power by running the mid/over pipe if I am not going to do the full exhaust? Same question goes for headers. As for tunes, I am seeing pretty impressive numbers put down by tunes with pretty basic mods. What do these tunes do to the daily driving abilities of this car? And the gas milage. I get 31/37 and really don't want to give that up. |

Perhaps he drives responsibly but also would like a little more power.

I have to agree with OP. On the street I drive like a grandpa, very slow acceleration and consistently 5 miles under the speed limit on the highway, and in my STi I got the highway EPA rating in city driving. You still feel the difference in power, even in slow everyday situations, and then the track is another story altogether :-)

Good job everyone, 6 replies with nothing relivant to the question that I asked.
I get that gas milage because I know how to drive the car correctly. If I want to speed and drive crazy I would have kept my 11sec mustang. I love this car but the power, especially in the low revs, is pretty lacking and annoying. I want to get a little more power out of the motor so that I can enjoy it more from day to day. I am also looking into doing a port and polish on the motor in the future, but want to wait until people get a little more experiance with the motor. |

works midpipe adds 6hp and will bolt into your stock muffler
Changing the frontpipe and overpipe will give you more power as well |

Mid pipe and over pipe with cat delete give most power. To stay legal get one with hi flow cat. A tune should actually increase gas mileage in theory because it optimizes what is already there (unless your engine is running lean right now). Headers (from what I have read/seen on this forum) appear to give you the biggest torque increase in the lower revs. Take out your spare tire and all that crap if you want to "feel" a little more power.

The Perrin Resonated Catback is perfect. I hate drone. I hate rasp. I hate rice.
The PerrIn RESONATED Catback is quiet at idle and will not wake the neighbors in the morning. It does, however, have a nice growl when you mash it. Very solid piece with a great sound. I've added the Perrin CAI to it and if I'm cruising by you might think I'm stock but if I got WOT there's a nice rumble/growl that is not deafening. IMO the sound is perfect.
