I was crusing around with my brother when we saw a blue srt4 with nice rims and some body kit. When the guy shifted sounded like if he had a DDp was damn loud and no cats. We got to the light and I knew we were going to get beat cuz my brother's car is almost stock. We got smoked by 4 cars.
My brother's car only has the hks air filter, cat back , bov type S and stock dp.I can't wait to get my car fix and I ordered a ddp with flex section.

same reason you would list wheels?

Should be able to take the srt4 from a dig for a while....since most can't launch all that well... with the right mods they have some wicked top end power though!

freakin stupid as hell.

btw..wheels affect performance... switch your stock saw blades out for a set of aluminum alloy konig's.. see if you dont notice a difference in accel. and turning and braking...

thats not entirely true. if you have a stock BOV (bypass valve, actually) chances are at 15+psi of boost, it's going to leak. leaking BPV's hinder performance, so an upgraded BOV on elevated boost levels can "add power" because you're no longer losing air through the BOV.

(i agree, but i disagree, too. at stock boost levels where the stock BPV is functioning properly, i'd say it's NOT an upgrade.)
