How do you drive your car? There's probably some more top end power to be gained by replacing the exhaust between the header and axle, but it's probably only going to show up above 5500-6000 rpm. In the real world, that just translates to numbers. "My car makes 100 whp on the dyno". Big deal. Unless you're drag racing, mid-range torque and throttle response is far more important.

If you're looking for more "daily driving" torque, about the only thing left to do is a lightweight flywheel and start shaving weight from the car.
