Default exhaust,z4, and horsepower

has anybody gone up against the bmw z4 at all or any encounters just curious. also getting exhaust does it even add any horsepower such as the borla, magnaflow, and would it affect the car being chipped in anyway thanks.

replacing the muffler section will do very little, if anything, for horsepower gains. Get rid of the restriction (manifold, cats, etc) and you will see some hp at high rpms, but a loss of torque at low rpms. this is usually complimented with an intake system. do a search; its all been discussed before.

I would say if the 2004-2006 Crossfire is being re-tooled in July 2007, there is going to be a mid year model. Like the RX7 a few years back. The RX7 was gone from the market place for about a year, all at once it was back with twin turbos.

Maybe Chrysler is going to replace the 3.2 with the 3.5, with twin turbos. yep that would blow the doors off most other wanna be sport cars at the red light.

Look for the price to drop.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same 3.5L engine replacement that Brabus and Renntech advertise... It seems that there are only a few ways to goose this motor and they have cornered the market with a very hefty price tag...

Can you fathom $7,500 for cams, $9,500 for a SC and $3,500 for headers ??? Ludicrous !!!

We didn't. This is all conjecture so far. All we know is that Karmann will be setting up to produce the 2007 model in July of this year.
