ipd exhaust

Post by volvee850glt »

Does anyone know how much power an ipd turbo back exhaust would add on a 850 GLT. I don't have much money and want to know an estimated power gain before i throw out $900. Or are there any other good exhaust systems for a 850.
Here is a link to the ipd one.

IPD Exhaust
Horsepower per dollar: awful
Risk: low

Manual boost controller (wide search)
Horsepower per dollar: very high
Risk: high

I'd take that $900 and money from selling your GLT, then put the two together and (carefully) buy a T5.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Given that you have a 97 glt, which actually has a turbo, you might make 10 extra HP. A chip is cheaper and a whole lot more bang for the buck. Chipped GLTs are supposed to be quite a torgue-y bit of grunt.

Good luck.
