[Shotimes] exhaust question

[James F. Ryan III]

Bob,

It was proven by the SHO Shop that the cat-back exhaust did not offer
any worthwhile power increase (4 HP???), and Borla's claim of BIG power
gains was also proven to be false.

You're likely feeling a performance gain merely because you're pushing
the Go pedal further to the floor just to hear the "new" sweet sound of
your engine.
