Yes, at SR. Please let me know what the 3.6 does on the dyno. Also, show them where to pick up the tach signal on yours for the dyno that way I won't have to next time. None of my runs had the torque line on the print-out.

my attitude is given what these parts cost - if you need a dyno to detect the difference in power - the power gain wasn't worth it. if you like the sound - great. but if you can't FEEL more power - then it's not that much.

can you FEEL the power gain by the seat of your pants butt dyno?

i've modded quite a few cars, and many of htemods I did, produced such small gains that I honestly couldn't feel it - or could only feel it at upper upper high rpms....

on my 2.7L - not sure what kind of gains I'd get by doing cat bypass.... less than 8hp... i'm sure. i would probably wait until the dealer tells me my cats are clogged and I need new ones, then get these and just get rid of them altogether..

I'm very happy for you. Just think how much money you'll save on modifications!
