Considering the next trail ride is going to take a little pedal, you know with all those ledges, my roommate Adam and I tried to figure out how to get a little boost out of the xj.
Upon cafeful inspection we noticed a taper in the exhaust pipe right before the tip. Using the sawsall we make a precision cut, freeing up what we believe to be about 10 rwhp.
As you can see in the pic the tipe was severely necked down.
With the pipe freed up we decided to add some looks as well as performance. We added a perforance, antique, Chase and Sanborn coffee muffler. Based on the fact that a maxwells adds about 5 rwhp, I'm thinking I picked up another 7-8 rwhp.
In the end I think I picked up a good 18-20 rwhp and the looks the ladies are going for.
This is probably tech day type material, so if you guys wanted I could do a full write up and sticky it.
