They dont worth the price. You can probably go with something better at a lower price. and you will not get 20~30 hp on their site. I really have no idea how they get those numbers.

An intelligent opinion...fair enough, how about looking around the forum, aka searching, and seeing the dyno results of members that have used their products.

Because its a fact, theres no way you can get 30 horsepower increase with just bolt ons.

The most you can get out of a setup like CAI, midpipe + Exhaust and Pulley can only get you maybe around 10 horsepower. You might be able to get more if you have Int-X and lean out a bit. but other then that. nope.

and how much they charge again ? You can get better stuff for less than what SR offers. Say.

Say,

GT3 Package, contains CAI, pulleys and a High flow cat - 1329

VS

Unorthodox Pulley - 250
MS CAI - 375
RP high flow cat + gasket set - 425
= 1050

Lets Say if SR offers you a FREE shipping and the other stuff you have to order them one by one and shipping runs you 200 bucks (which I doubt, more like 70 for all) the price is STILL cheaper than what 1329 has to offer. Lets not forget theres NO WAY you can get 29+ horse power with just the stuff above. (and wow, SR gives you a keychain and a T-shirt, BIG Freaking DEAL! Oh, no free shipping btw)

I guess I dont even need to go over the other packages. You should be able to figure it out yourself.

and by the way, Search is your friend.

Thats great thanks. I just didn't want people just saying off the cuff without really knowing what they were talking about. I tried searching for people who had their products and didn't find anything (it was a while ago so I don't really remember what I found)
I didn't think that it was possible to get that kind of power gains from bolt ons.
