Ickyketseddie 89 Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Got exactly the same conversion. I put it on the rolling road @ AmD last week and the bloke there said i can expect around a 15bhp increase!! Can't wait to get mine fitted now! Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 15bhp increase is very optimistic I hate to say. Maybe on forced induction cars but not on the n/a VR6. They are nice mods and free up more exhaust gasses but in reality you will only achieve a max of around 5bhp. I achieved no increase in bhp with mine (had rolling road session before and after) but on the good side I did gain some extra torque. Not sure where AMD came up with 15bhp! I didn't notice too much of a difference sound wise but maybe a bit louder when you really put your foot down. Couple it with an induction kit like a BMC and it will really sound closer to a muscle car! Link to post Share on other sites
