Yeah they are just basic, but they make a big difference... I now have 2.5" piping with Magnaflow muffler and custom "ram-air" intake... my stock airbox sucks hot air from near engine, now it is colder air directly exposed to oncoming wind... that and stock piping is about 1" with a really restrictive resonator/muffler... that and my gearing is lowered .1- Dont forget the lighter-than stock rims/tires...

So yeah, lets apply some general rules of thumb:
Exhaust adds 5-10%HP, as does the Intake
My car starts at 220HP and 222TQ
so thats between 22HP/22.2TQ and 44HP/44.4TQ increase with both the exhaust and intake...
Im not sure if these numbers are completely accurate, but there is a huge seat-of-pants feel between now and stock...

That and is your brother's girlfriend's Highlander a v6? Does it have AWD? Cause mine does, and all of we (yes this is correct grammar) who are educated here know that Mitsus have trouble hooking off the line...

Shall we continue or is everyone through doubting?
