Short of forced induction, Engine swap...etc.. it's not going to happen.
If it was easy don't you think we all would do it?

Good luck!

That looks sweet, looks like you only need a screwdriver to install it...

I may be falling victim to marketing techniques, you see claims of 10% increases for air filters, 10% for exhaust, with rarely any data to back it up. I know alot of people have done exhausts, chips and others just not sure if this is real or not.

I actually bought two of those for my BMW and I noticed an immediate performance decrease LOL



I returned them at least.



I didn't think it'd work but there was a money back guarantee.

one thing I learned right away is that inexpensive/cheap and Porsche do not belong in the same sentence.

I gained a modest 18 hp with new headers and an exhaust at a cost of $550 only because the headers/muffler were free!
