V6- does Fabspeed really help, or just sound better?

[BobbySpeed]

Fabspeed web site states, "2ndarary Catalytic converters give major gains in power give the car a much Sporty & throaty sound. No check Engine Light & passes all emission tests. 10-14HP Gain."

Since when is 10-14 hp a major gain? My V6 needs more power, but how can 10-14hp be a noticable difference in a vehicle this heavy? I could barely get a Ford Freestar off my tail today on the highway. The service manager at my local P-car dealership claims it will take an extra 40hp to make a noticable difference in my car.

Since when is 10-14 hp a major gain? My V6 needs more power, but how can 1-14hp be a noticable difference in a vehicle this heavy? I could barely get a Ford Freestar off my tail today on the highway.

Believe me...there is NO noticable performance improvement and, at least on the V-6, the pipe gives a tin-can rattley sound at high rev's that's somewhat embarrassing. Sounds like my '75 Vega when it rusted a hole in front of the muffler...not impressive at all! :(

Thanks for the info folks, I hate throwing money away- even if it is on toys.

How about the entire supersprint system for the V6. The structure look quite promising, has anyone tried it on the V6?
