In my humble opinion, this has turned out to be a successful modification. Just the right amount of a additional noise and horses. I wish I had a before and after dyno test to see the real numbers, but I will say there is no loss of torque or power anywhere, I can feel, in the power band. The sound could be a little bit louder still, but there is a definite improvement in that department as well.
Bottom line, if you don't need a smog test, go run and tear those things out!
