...or in Renegade ownership!
Just kidding.
Jessica is not wrong about the items that re-map the throttle, or improve the shifts. They don't increase overall horsepower or torque. But they CAN make the driving experience more enjoyable, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But I'm with Peebles24. With few exceptions (and those on more expensive vehicles) factory exhaust systems contain many comprimises to total performance, trading off a few ponies for lower manufacturing costs, ease of assembly, maximum quietness, etc. A performance oriented cat-back does not have to make these compromises, and can usually find you a few ponies. And they sound great, so again, nothing wrong with that.
Well, I have been paying more attention while driving. Me no mechanic, I just drive.
Maybe not more torque or hp [probably not!] but how would you express "quicker" from A to B. Definitely quicker as the car jumps! I even have to remind the guys when I have the oil changed. Would that be called "initial torque"?
As far as the tranny, it is almost instant... and that is an asset especially going downhill and gaining almost 20 mph an hour to get in 4th from 5th!... while gaining 20mph!... I love that Auto-Flash.
I do believe with the Ragazon Exhaust and BMC filter, especially when it clean, there is a bit more power...
No more tears... Big smile... and even bigger smile when switching to my 304hp JCW.
Jessica is most likely just envious... [joke!]
It is not "being tricked" when I get to point be faster...
Then again, what do I know?!
