real world hp gains on my 2014 1lt/rs

So I just picked up my car from the shop after getting mrtv2 cat back exhaust, k&n cold air intake and a HP dyno tune and let me tell you the power is real. Better throttle response, nice muscle deep tone, smoother shifting on my manual 6spd and all around better performing ride with these mode. I will post pics, videos and dyno slips soon. I have 279rwp. So I gained 30hp plus over stock.

Too much money for the gain. Just IMO. Glad you like it, and I know that exhaust sounds badass!

At that point, those are modifications he would have been happy with for only half the gain. It's nice sound increases, more enjoyable driving experience.

This is just the beginning stages of making changes, cost/HP doesn't matter as much

I was that skeptical guy watching hundreds of exhaust videos. After narrowing it down to American thunder axle back and the mrtv2. I'm glad I chose Mrtv2. Hands down nice sounding muffler for the v6. Anything you choose over the the stock trash cans is a good up grade.

279 rwp IS verry impressive from a V 6,the early Z28s from the 80s were factory rated around 200,I know my car would dust the 80 that I had
