thanks everyone, i appreciate the information. also, thanks for the heads-up on maxspeed - good to have a canadian vendor available (less shipping and duty for us canadians).

i'm not made of money, but i like to tinker. i'd save up for a performance exhaust if it provided benefit without detriment (torque loss at lower rpm). looking at the dyno results on the maxspeed website (NHP vendor) there doesn't appear to be a reduction in torque or power except for a bit of torque at 1800 rpm. otherwise a net increase.

those with experience in these things please advise - can you feel the torque loss at lower rpm? can you feel the hp gain otherwise?

dyno

thanks again.

ps - 2k3 - how do you like the shifter? i've read that b&m are too stiff; how does the schnell feel? is it the same unit that maxspeed sells for $99?
