Here we had the ability to compare, in relatively close succession, the same car dyno tuned with a 3″ downpipe and stock cat-back and then with a 3″ cat-back. The results were quite surprising considering we had expected to see maybe 5HP difference at the most. While this is only one test I believe it goes to show that any restriction in the exhaust of a turbo car will hurt power. This car gained 15WHP and 15WTQ peak.
