    When you ask a question i will answer with sarcasm aswell.


    Probably about 4-7bhp

    Might have only got the car back to standard power with them modifications, as not many cars actually make there proclaimed BHP expecially when there a few years older. But in most cases if the engine has been looked after and serviced regularly then you will probably have gotton a small gain. I take it that it just feels better to drive aswell?

    Agree. That or most if any of the power gain will be had if you have removed the car. The back box and so on have no real effect on power unless there designed really poorly and then they can only loose you power. Unless the K&N has a cold air feed it can potentially loose you power. So my guess would be a couple of hp gained or even lost over standard.
