I don't believe it was stock. I think they mentioned in prior articles that they have an exhaust system on it, but I haven't seen what it was.

Every dyno and testing situation is different even from the same brand of dyno to another dyno of the same brand. Humidity, air temp, oil temp, software version theres a million variables.

Still a thing to note, more power equals more use of brakes. Thats a lot of power in these small cars of ours.
