These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

some on 6speedonline say that the mod shifts some hp to the upper rpms at a loss of low end torque. Any one with any input? I'd never sacrifice power for sound, and I can't see how the MKII mod is different in the end from the PSE...which is not supposed to affect power in any way.

POST 2Original post

I have not seen any negative torque or hp change. I have been extremely happy with the mod, I would recommend it to anyone. If there is a negative change, it is so small that it is not noticable.

POST 4Original post

I didn't notice any changfe in torque when I installed the modded mufflers. I also didn't notice any change when I put the stock mufflers back on the car.

POST 5Original post

I haven't noticed any loss or increase, and I don't think there's any really meaningful change to backpressure with the mod. Of course without a lot of before & after dyno on enough cars, anything we say is only measured by the finely calibrated seats of our pants. It may be possible the 6 speeder may have a leak at the weld or even on re-fitting, of course that too is conjecture.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
