please dont waste your money, if anything they reduce the amount of air flow and engines do better with a straight air flow.

Tornato, Those don't work, The newer cars are designed really well, I think one of those will make your mileage go down...lol

Tornado?!?! I hope you are kidding...

Go with an intake and some exhaust work to get your mileage up

These good things come from different adds in magazines and commercials. From what i see here not many people like'em. i guess i'll hold off on getting it now.

Flowmasters would definately boost HP.

i'm a fan of the flowmaster super 40's. They have a deep agressive sound. Check out their website for soundclips.

The stock cat-back isn't limiting HP on a non-modded engine.

Any change to anything after the cat is done for personal sound preference. If you've added lots of HP thru other mods, and added headers, removed the cat, then maybe you'd gain an hp or two from the mufflers.

Getting back on the earlier off topic, that's a lovely PhotoShop Bill did. His car is really Sport Red.

Sorry to ruin the fun Bill :p
