Werd. But I think the baseline is with the CAI, catback and pulley which makes it not as bad, but still not great.

Keep in mind Cobb is in SLC... (not at sea level)

Those still arent very impressive numbers at all. Only 8hp. I was expecting at least 12-15 in SLC.

I need to see the dyno for it paired with the COBB intake... Cause ya, 8hp is below normal for a full exhaust.

Not unless you want a stock header and cat.

I think they're okay for the price. Most of the headers available for the 2.5 seem to be around $600 anyway. I got the uncoated header with cat and it's around 700ish. Not bad I don't think considering most cobb stuff is usually expensive ($300 CAI

).

8 hp was just the gain a 5400rpm. If you read a little closer, the peak gains were +14.7 HP and +17.5 ft-lbs of torque. + 15 HP, I think is a pretty good gain. Add a little more since SLC is high up, and I think it's some damn good gains.
