Man! At 15%, that would still suggest I'm running 212hp at the flywheel.

So it's safe to say the JCW kit gives a ballpark 20hp boost from staock and smoothes out the torque/power curves. I'm happy with that... for now

.

What I mean is 190 hp at the flywheel.
My question is, the JCW kit promises about 17hp.
The miltek full exhaust promises about +25hp ( I do not believe them, but I think that about 15-18 hp is a very normal number).
Why should somebody then istall the JCW kit?
