My point was why split hairs over 15hp because it really isnt that much power, not something you can feel at least.

If your not racing than spending good money on 15hp is a waste.

Now I'm not saying buying bolt ons is a waste, just first assess your goals.

Hear are some good reasons to buy bolt ons:
- change exhaust note
- improve the way the car looks (engine bay)
- create a long list of things you changed
- give yourself a reason to play with your car.

I'm not saying it's a waste either. The point is to be realistic with your goals. Like everyone says, "You have to pay to play." I've put enough into my tC2 to know that.

I don't think it's a good idea to misinform people on what bolt-on's can do for your car from a performance standpoint. One of the worst feelings is built up anticipation that leads to disappointment, which will happen to those that aren't realistic with gains upon a dyno run. When you see little to no gain, it's disheartening and a rude awakening. No one wants to feel like they've wasted money.
