Slightly better than our standard system. As noted on the above dyno chart and our website, the big advantage comparing apples to apples, is when the intake volume is opened. Then the new race system design really shows it's legs both in horsepower and throttle response. Though more complex than this, a reasonable analogy is that to take advantage of large tube, multiple step, merge collector designs, you need additional intake volume available to exploit said design. As a note, overall horsepower was not the only goal (although it was the primary goal). The Mid-High Mount design also has far more cornering clearance, as well as a deeper exhaust tone.
