I dug up some paperwork on the dyno results from previous owner, when i bought car he said it was xforce 1 7/8 headers and 2.5 catback from which was on car when he originally purchased it, at which i measured the xforce headers off my car last night and was quite surprised that they are infact 1 5/8 2.5 outlets with 2.5" cats, with dyno sheet 457 rwhp
More interesting is my mates ve ss, same workshop , same cam setup, but running a full big boy difillipo made 2hp less than mine...
My point is the shop didnt even know correct exhaust size as they put 1 7/8 on dyno sheet when infact 1 5/8,
,if im thinking logically, the performance shop is fudging figures to keep customer happy or smaller 1 5/8 header and 2.5 inch catback as capable as bigger exhaust pipes
