[hamoodi_7]

Do a Dyno run and you'll see the numbers of current hp :)

[hamoodi_7]

dyno runs are expensive, 400-500 dhs if im not mistaken...thats quite alot!

400-500 won't make a difference when you want to know your car more... i saygive a shot once in the coming 2 months so that you get a clearer picture of what's the engine delivering.

dyno runs really help when u do before/after on the same dyno & under same conditions, otherwise they're useless IMHO!

go head to head with a stock manual 330 and you'll know ;) on a closed track of course ;)

[hamoodi_7]

Very valid points, there is just one thing. Since it's american spec, i want to get rid of the cats in the exhaust system. Any ideas of how to go about it and if there are any in the first place? because barely any air goes out the exhaust on stand still. i can feel it kind of repressed.

Ebay headers worked fine with hundreds of members in e46fanatics. I was an 330 owner myself and know that for multiple years of research lol

[hamoodi_7]

u mean buying them off ebay, or its a brand called ebay? and what about removing the catalytic converters?
