To be honest the car really seems to be faster now and must be making a little more torque in the lower RPMs (where on the street 95% of my time is spent). I say it seems faster cause I notice traction control kicking in all the time now as I accelerate cause the rear tires are trying to spin. This didn't happen nearly as often with aftermarket xpipe on. It's not due to loss of tread on rear tires as they are fairly new too. I'm thinking the full systems only really help you out at the very high RPM ranges and slow you down in the lower ones. |
I have to agree with this. I have gone back to stock and am surprised how good it feels now
