thanks

the Cavy sees a mixed route of rural & highway roads, with various speeds from 35-65mph, mild terrain, some hills, but nothing "huge"

i'm trying to experiment with ram-air (still need to "perfect" it) to aid FE at highway speeds, i did breifly try a underhood intake & the car seemed to lack power compared to stock

eventully i'd like to make a header of my own design for it (everything out there IMO is junk, i can easily fab up a better header), along with the rest of the exhaust, it has a DNX muffler now...its a little on the loud side, but sounds pretty mean, it burbles & farts kinda like a SRT4 when you rev it, i would like to replace everything with 2.5" from the header (when i make one) 2.25" after a highflow cat, then 2" right before it goes over the rear axle, should keep the vacuum during valve overlap strong, & the exhaust peak velocity at a relistic & more usable rpm range, rarely this thing sees anything over maybe 3200rpms (no tach)
