 In my dreams it is.
 
 Seriously though, I haven't done anything to the bird other than suspension and add a catch can. I doubt I'll be much different power-wise, if at all. I was going to attempt the turbo install but I couldn't get all the parts lined up in time.

 N/A? Wow. Is that wheel or crank?

				| I'm assuming crank. Its in a mag article.. so assume cali dyno as well. I dont remember which mag, but the way those articles work its probably in several of them by now.  |  |

				| Looking at a new muffler. We'll see how funds and time hold out. I'm freakin busy and freakin broke these days. Living good though! One more big side project to finish up and I can relax. 
 Stock muffler = no flow

				| Uh wow! By the time the exhaust figures out which way to come out of that thing is it even moving? 
 I thought the dual in dual out crossflow i had sucked.
   
 I've got a spare used 3" flowmaster. Doubt you could use it, but yours by chance if you need it.

				| I'm not real keen on the flowmaster. They don't "flow" in my opinion either. Plus, with as loud as this thing is now, it's only going to get louder. Flowmaster wouldn't help that equation. Been chatting with Borla about a new "non-aggressive" muffler. _________________

 If you've ever seen a Flowmaster cut apart (which you probably have
  ) they look pretty much like that stock muffler you showed there. Exhaust comes in and runs smack into a wall. 
 Great if you like drone, crap otherwise.

				| But as Tom Pederson used to say... Free is a very good price! lol But ya.. at some point the flows on my pickup are going away too. 
 You want non-aggresive.. wait til you hear the Violators I just installed on the blackbird.
  Turning them the right direction did calm down some of their bark though. |  |
