Any HP gains with the exhaust? How much did it cost?
I personally think the K&N intake is a great and cheap mod. I have one as well. You can feel it rev a bit quicker. Love the sound. I have felt heat soak a few times though. I'm thinking about doing some air ducting for it and for my brakes.
I didn't dyno my CR after installing the K&N and GT-Spec because I think I installed them when my car was still in the break-in period. From what I understand when you dyno a car you max out the revs until it hits redline and the limiter kicks in.
Where in San Diego are you from man?
