5kCSTQ Performance Modifications

[Zsolt]

How about the Stebro SS system? http://www.stebro.net/aq5000.htm

On my inquiry this was the description of the system I received from them.

"...we offer a SS performance exhaust system for your 5000TQ.
It is 100% SS and comes with a lifetime warranty. They are made at our
facility
here in Ottawa. Pipe diamtere is 2.5" c/w a 3" mirror polished rear tip.
It has a sport center resonator(smaller,lighter and more free flow than
OEM)
and a sport rear muffler. Power increase is 10hp and sound quality is
excellent....a little deeper and throatier but not too aggressive.
We offer a Euro resonator that changes out the cat converter."

Cheers,
  Zsolt
