    Default increasing power?

    hey guys just wondering if any one could tell me if taking the rear resonator out of a stock v6 vz and replacing it with a straight through tail pipe will increase kw? i only ask because i have done this and it seems a bit more responsive? in saying this i had also introduced the two hole mod and a high flow filter before doing the tale pipe, but didn't really notice any difference in power until now???
    any ideas?

    Hey mate id say the if there is a power increase it would not be noticeable maybe 1-5 kw at the most . it will be the extra noise that is making you think it has more power . just my 2 cents

    After putting my 2.5in catback on, I noticed a definate increase at 3500 to max rpm. It has no rear muffler so your power gain is caused by your modification. An extra quarter inch won't really blow holes in a dyno though.
