My experience with exhaust mods has not shown to be as cost effective. Going to headers and high-flow cats increased the sound nicely, but only added a little over 5 hp on the dyno. I would do the chip and intake again in a minute, but would not go down the header/cat path again as just was not cost very effective. Live and learn....

Hi,

I'm not sure the effect a chip would have on a TipS car. The TipS is DME controlled and I don't know if the Maps could handle the new curves or get confused. Any one have any experience with chipping a TipS car?

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
