I just looked at it as a joke.

However it did say the 7thgen baslined at 113fwhp and 106.5 lb-ft torque. Some people think those are #'s we have at the wheels with mods. It was on a Dynoplane dyno....are those good ?? I know they are all different

Manifolds dont produce that much power, they just help contain it.

that article is old. i bought it thinking cool finally an article about my car. i read the whole thing in total disappointment what a let down all they talk about in those mags are 350z's, wrx's, ect. honda tuner is way better they talk about tuning your car on a budget. which is the info most of the people i know need. i mean robb report is good for dream cars and super cars but that is what it is for DREAM CARS!
if you are looking for reports on cars 20-35k then import tuner is good,but i prefer honda tuning magazine all the info i need! so i say *** those haters even if it was ment as a general statement
