Unless I missed them.
Last night I drove freeway stop & go 5 mph to 25 for an hour.
then picked up to 72 mph
total trip 165 mi and the computor says 52.5 mpg.
counting the fuel gauge dots (how much gas is left)I believe it
can I improve though?

Re: New exhaust 2 1/4"
I did the intake mod on my 05 HCH today and all I can say is WOW. I'm noticing that the take off from 0 is much better than before and have also noticed overall increase in performance.
When I had stock tires on my car the initial acceleration to me was quite adequate. After installing new wheels and tires (17" rims 215/45R/17 tires) I was really disappointed on how slow the car has gotten, and regret buying new wheels and tires at that point. It even felt like I was driving my old Benz 240D again. After installing the new intake air filter and breather my car now has better acceleration and I can't tell you how happy that makes me!
My next upgrade will be the exhaust mod. Thank you guys!

Re: New exhaust 2 1/4"
I didn't read all twenty pages of this post, but I'll let you in on something. There was a dyno/decibelmeter test done on about 30 performance mufflers. I remember two, the borla XS and Hooker Aerochamber, they were among the few quietest and least restrictive. Summit racing sells mandrel bent exhaust if one wanted to piece together their own exhaust. Honestly, the car is almost silent, there has to be some gain to be had from freeing up that restriction. Personally, I wouldn't go to 2.25 inch, I would go smaller and with smoother bends. I've never been a fan of glasspacks, I put them on a vehicle in H.S. and it sounded like a lot of the fart cans you hear today.

What do you guys think of these exhausts?

They all have 2" inlet and 2" outlet and have similar specs to the Hedman pack.
If the Magnaflows offer similar performance to the Hedman exhaust I wouldn't mind paying more for the cool look

Re: New exhaust 2 1/4"
Can someone please post instructions and part #'s (Spectre / K&N?) for the conical filter mod for the 2005 HCH-I's? I am planning to run to Pep-Boys or Autozone this afternoon and pick up the parts.
From what I've heard, the stock airbox is 3 bolts, and then I need a 3/8" hose and clamp to run back into the conical filter from the engine?
Thanks
