Overall HP gain?

ESTIMATEDLY, what would the overall gorse power gain of this be?

Deckplate Mod
TrueFlow Air Filter (on the way).
Flowmaster 40.

All combined what is a good educated guess?

It won't be really noticeable HP but the hole in the airbox with a good flowing filter is good for 6-8whp and the exhaust might yield another 3-4 in the midrange but overall the exhaust is more for a meatier sound.

Not to be a dick but is that 6-8whp dyno proven?
Cause I doubt you will get that much, maybe half of that.

You'll gain some better sound but probably unnoticeable horsepower.

I say do it if you're doing it for the sound, the gain is noticeable at WOT, but then again, I dont have any #'s to back that up. I did it (Deckplate, ISR mod, Vortex Muffler) and love the sound and the "gain" that I at least think I'm getting

i would say you will probabbly gain about 300 hp at the wheels total you may want to air down and drive around in 4wd all the time because you will be producing so much power it will be hard to actually get traction.


but seriosly you will gain a few HP probabbly not that noticable if your driving habbits stay the same your engine will be a little more efficent (agian if driving habbits stay the same) every little bit helps

What motor? That makes all the difference.

On my 22re, headers, intake, cat, bigger pipes, muffler, hotter wires...... probably got me 1hp

On a 3.4, might be good for 1.5hp

some food for thought... If your N/A and you put on a AEM brute force... it dyno's around 12 horsepower at redline. Check their website for charts. So i imagine that all that would put you around the same if not a little higher (12-15 horsepower) and definitely noticable.

Yes, the deckplate mod is indeed "dyno proven" at about 6hp. It actually gives you more gain than a $300 K&N FIPK.

Now if you just cut open the front of the box you get 6.4 HP over the stock box for free or 9.6 over the K&N FIPK. Remember from the previous chart you will get basically the same results by removing the elbow as cutting open the box. I think this might be the way to go so you can pop it back in if you decide to go swimming.

nc994run, with your vortex muffler did u keep the factory pipes or did you just get all new ones. I was looking at burtman and I liked the sound he had on video.

Every single company out the claims that their intakes give 10-20hp. I don't want to see a company's dyno sheets, I want to see personal dyno sheets from an average joe.

That's good to see.
I still don't think he'll get much more then 8hp at the wheels with everything combined.

I agree, probably 8 hp or thereabouts. The muffler won't really do anything, but the deckplate paired with the trueflow might.

Dabadina, I still have the stock size piping (2.25" IIRC) In the near future I am going to try a short (14" or so) Magnaflow muffler with 2.5" inlet and outlet diameters (got it used) and some 2.5" to 2.25" adapters, I doubt it will change any gains I get, but I'm more interested in the sound
