    1. Why is this thread in the "Polls" section. (Fixed)
    2. What does "have more force" mean? Unless you car is a Jedi, I don't think it has any force to start with.

    2.5" Pipes on a stock v6 should to the job easily. So if you can get a complete system then go with that. Don't know if you will get a huge noticable difference but you would expect some improvement on paper.

    I think you would have to have a hand full of mods that compliment eachother before you would notice anything. No sense in having the best exhaust system if your engine is stock and your intake restrictive. Bottlenecks are not your friend.

    Surprisingly enough, the alloytec is not unresponsive to a decent exhaust system, but, you need to do extractors as well. Dyno results don't really do the changes justice because people expect a "power" increase. What a decent system does to this engine is make it more responsive and accelerate better.

    LOL.
    I would also like to know what cams you had installed. How much did they cost you installed?
    Id also like to know how you arrived at the figure of 193kw on paper. Did you dyno it?

    198kw? WOW....that's 265 hp with just extractors cats and an exhaust. You are the king, I will recommend all alloytec owners take their cars to you to have work done.

    Shoulda gone a full 4" twin system. Would have been good for near 250 at the wheels. Might try it on the mrs' wagon
