Maybe y'all should start a business theory thread...

Yes I have, it's what I do on a daily basis.

Know what Walmart's "low margin" is?

5.64% operating, 3.36% profit.

Amazon is the same range. So is my employer ($3.5 billion annual revenue).

Buy it or dont buy it. I bet some of you paid more for an intake that gave you nothing.

Or a fancy exhaust that gained you 1hp.

Bad example only because most people buy an exhaust for the sound anyway.

Yeah, but my muffler is pushing noise out at the speed of sound. Sooooo based on my expert S@#thouse tuner knowledge I actually gained like... idk 10hp. Thats whp btw.

Lol you guys are funny.

I never understood the whole rice bowl muffler loudness thing. Maybe back when I was a teenager in the 90's and the Japanese car scene was getting in. But nowadays, I can't stand to hear anything that is loud. Slightly louder than stock, okay. But anything louder is just retarded especially if you're not making any noticable gains.

But truth be told, being NA, an exhaust system adds like 1hp. It may even lose power. A tune is the only noticable upgrade while NA. Next to this power block by crawford which is still being waited to be tested.

Phelonic spacers are not new. The 3sgte communities use them on gen2's to eliminate tvis, increase airflow and reducing manifold soaking.

Hopefully crawford's results are repeatable because this engine could use easier waus to increase power with having to turbo.

A perfect example of this is a Honda Civic I saw today after work. Running catless and was very load on throttle (you could smell it). It was a newer SI which is 200HP factory IIRC. I wasn't even romping on it and keeping up with him in traffic from the two traffic lights we were stopped at (open space in a 45 never even winding out second). I was just hoping a cop would pick him up and tear him apart after he flew past me doing probably 80+. Totally unnecessary. My ideal setup on this car is an UEL header and maybe a quiet catback... but I like the factory setup with an UEL header.

Just got home and found these at my door step. I won't have time to test them today though.
