No, I don't. It just annoys me that all the time when people on this forum make changes to their car (myself included) and actually feel the change, the butt dyno crowd crawls out from their holes and says that there's no way you can feel anything different.

Perfect example is if you make some weight changes in your car and shed 100 lbs, you will get a litany of dumb asses saying you'll never notice 100 lbs difference. That'd be a better power:weight ratio by over 3%. Yet these would be the same people to say they notice the difference in engine output of 90 F and 60 F.... a temp difference which will net an extra of 3% engine output or about 6 HP. Which is less than the 5% extra engine output this engine will put out untuned with hardware changes (like going catless). You're limited by that 5% with the default engine tune, but you can squeeze that out. To get more from that exhaust you need a tune.

So if anyone says you can't possible feel +10 HP (5% of 200 HP), ask them if they notice that their engine feels better in cooler weather.....
