How many HORSEPOWER do these modifications add ?

I have seen lots of numbers posted here and there. And I have seen and read over information on various websites. Just wanted to know what some of the forum members thought.

How many extra horsepower will the following mods add to my 97 Maxima 5 speed. I certainly can tell a serious increase in power but im still kinda lost as to what my gains my have been ?

My mods:
1. Jim Wolf Technologies Pop Charger
2. Warpspeed Mandrel Bent Aluminized Y Pipe
3. Warpspeed B Pipe with resonator
4. MagnaFlow Street Series Muffler

Thanks for the help and where should I go from here?

who or what does a dyno ?
A dyno tells you how much horsepower your engine has...
for a video of a dyno, go to motorvate.ca

Who does it? Dyno shops...Not sure where you live, but, if you
post "Who does dynos in XXXXX" in one of the regional forums, I'm
sure someone can help you out.

LOTS of folks here have dyno'ed their cars -- usually before and
after a mod to really understand the mods affect...That is why
you'll often see posts that say "MEVI Dyno" or "I dyno'ed my car!".

hope this helps,

thanks...it's not there yet, but, by the end of the summer I'm hoping
I'll finally have it lowered, and the in-dash TV/DVD unit will be
happening...it looks so stock, it's sick!

just an estimation...but with those mods...you should have an increase of about 20-25hp to the wheels

your stock numbers should be something like 160-165 to the wheels...so with the mods...probably somewhere in the area of 185hp to the wheels

1. about 5hp
2. about 10-15hp
3. about 2hp
4. about 0hp.lol

This setup can gain you anywhere from 25hp to 15hp. I think next you should get an UDP.
