I'd also be interested in the power gain figures?

What's a good exhaust system to compliment it and to get maximum power?

I wouldn't bet on more that around 5-8bhp with a manifold and exhaust!

I would bet on it making the engine feel more responsive though.

5-8 is still a good gain on an N/A engine. Think about it. 5-8 with full system including manifold. 2-5 with BMC maybe?? 8-13 with the chip. Potential of around 25bhp gain. Yeh that may nopt come off, but really likelyhood of seeing 140-145, I want to see my engine touch 150 without serios serious mods!

Naturally :D

Does 15bhp shave much off 0-60 times?
