The last article of the latest release of 5.0 magazine speaks of an s197 picking up 40 rwhp with an off-road X and SCT tune.


Supposedly the CAI was already installed and possibly the cat back and all was recorded on the base run. So, maybe the cat back and CAI wasn't tuned before substantiating greater gains when it came time for the X pipe run.

I know that 5.0 has made a snafu before with Trick flow's intake for the 2V, so I was wondering if this is another snafu.

The reason why I wanted to confirm or expose this is because my uncle is always bugging me for something to do to his 08 GT, so any feedback would be appreciated.

I mean really, he has the SCT and BBK CAI, if he can add an X pipe and a cat back for an additioned "tuned" 40 rwhp, WTFN?

The HP comes from the tune mostly. The X pipe is worth maybe 8 or 9, the filter maybe 5. The rest is from the tune.

BTW, if you look at the large American Muscle ad, my 07 is in there (before lowering and wheels) on page 8 of their ad, I believe.
