You will lucky to gain 10Kw at the wheels from what I've seen of your old piping and from what it probably needs :wink:

Put it this way - you can still get around 100hp from a 600cc engine with a 20mm restrictor. As has been said, you won't notice that much difference from your piping.

My IC piping is about I think 1 1/2 inch, and I require 2 1/2 inch. This is a huge restriction. And it will actually gain a git of power. Because it doesn't allow much air flow to get to the intake. And I will also be upgrading the intake to allow the more air flow through

the law of physics say that no more than 320 rwhp can be made with a 36mm restrictor up against the impella blades of the turbo. But you can make heaps of torque thru the midrange. 36mm is the same size as a World Rally Car

While were on the subject of piping, my starion came with 2inch exhaust, would it be worth going up to 2 and a half?
