Steeda claims it, is it real world?

Having heard both, I believe it. It stands to reason there would be SOME small gains with a completely open chamber muffler. Steeda says a mid pipe gives you 3hp. But yeah who knows what they really are.

I have seen back to back dynos in S. Cali where the non AE made just as much as an AE exhaust car. Now I realize there is a lot of variable.

Badges/Trim, a rear diff cooler, and the alleged extra 14 HP. If different connecting rods make you feel special, it has those too. The Tremec is the only notable upgrade if you get a manual.

Are we just going to ignore the brakes?


In any case I got all of that for less than $5k more than a GT. In the last decade all I had was GT’s because that’s all I wanted. But I still won’t say the GTPP is almost a Dark Horse and if it was I would’ve bought one.

Met a new dark horse owner at a car show a few weeks ago, it was an ember, handling pack car.

around 70k I think he said, but anyway, it was GD beautiful, the smoothness of the color, the way it sits stock, factory rubber etc… they’re damn sweet looking cars!
He was loving it

$10000 to one person is 1 cent to another. It really depends on what a person wants to drive and how they want to drive it. Could I buy a DH, sure, but it’s more car than I need or want. Now if I can modify my car and make it the way I want it to look and run for less dollars then why not save the dollars. Throw in some bolt on’s and get a custom tune and out run a stock DH on the street, seems fun to me. I appreciate the thread and this forum for that matter. The amount that I have learn from everyone is priceless!
