250 bucks for the end tip? And where is the torque and HP increase going to come from? If it's the 2.5", it's not any less restrictive than a stock 2.5" tip - and if you get the 5", either you already have a 5" exhaust system (seriously doubt that  ) and it won't help any, or you use a 2.5->5" adapter to use it, which again won't help ...
Boy, must ricers be stupid ...

I really hope that is a typo and supposed to read 7.2ftlb /10hp increase. If it boosts 72ftlb than that civic may JUST out run you!!!
All and all, 10 hp increase is HUGE for those guys, almost a 10% jump

I fail to see where even the last foot of your exhaust is going to do anything to add Horsepower or Torque. Laws of physics, as I understand them, would not allow that. Its not going to allow your exhaust to flow faster or anything...or am I totally wrong??

The part in question is actually a muffler replacement, so I could see where performance gains are possible. But thats alot for cars that average 110-150hp (10hp/7.2lbft gain with a single muffler)

Or, you could roll the bag of rice off a cliff for maximum speed potential.
