Based on my experience adding a catback exhaust, after market filter, or aftermarket pulley provides zero power gains I’ve been diligent with before and after dyno’s for each mod I've added and the RDSport Exhaust, Akra exhaust, AA pulley, and MS filter gave me no hp or tq benefit.

Other than a supercharger, the only bolt-on part that seems to guarantee power is cat removal.
well said

I should have the DRF files to evolve today or tomorrow and they will try to see what is going on up top on my car and hopefully can sort it out.

The car made the most power up to 7k, but had an epic fail above 7k rpm.

I am still jealous of your supercharger
