[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15559004, member: 121775"] It will. The only things I've changed on my exhaust are the mufflers. I put a set of Corsa Sport mufflers on, and I think I actually [i]lost[/i] a few HP compared to the stock mufflers. I've been long debating with myself whether or not I want to put the stock mufflers back on. I still have the 3" pulley on my Whipple, and with an iced down blower, it put, I believe, 693RWHP. That was before doing [i]anything else[/i] to the car. After the VMP tune, Killer Chiller, and drivetrain weight reduction, it might actually be putting down a sneeze over 700RWHP. I haven't had it dyno'd since then, so I don't really know [i]what[/i] it's putting down. I like to be conservative when talking to people and say it's putting down somewhere around 660+RWHP. That's with nothing but the FRPP Whipple 2.9 kit with a VMP 93 octane tune and a less burdened drivetrain. I haven't changed injectors, exhaust, fuel system, or added any fuel pump boosters. (Although, as much as people swear everybody should have one, they almost have me convinced to buy one just for the headroom.) I'm super content with my 2.9. Right now, my main interest is chasing efficient power production by lightening as many components as I can without ever opening up the engine. The less burdened the engine is and the less wasteful the chassis is, the more power is making its way to the wheels and the more healthy the engine will remain. That's my philosophy; lightweight, lightweight, lightweight. They can have the huge blowers, alternative/augmented (read:nitrous/meth injection) fuel, complicated fuel systems, etc. (Although, water injection isn't completely off the table.) If I find I'm hungry for even more traction problems in the future, I'll swap in a 2.75" pulley. With that, I'll add upgraded injectors and a pump booster that all the tuners claim you "[i]have to have[/i]" before they will give me a tune. [/QUOTE]
