Ive heard of the power cap giving gains of about 5bhp,
Does the ecotec give any extra power???

not to sure of the BHP gains but... you have to cut the bulkhead to get the power cap to fit..

the idea of the powercap is so that u dont have to cut the bulkhead! only cut the bulkhead if u keep the SFI box..

This is incorrect the M-tech fitting guide tells you to cut it... the reason y people are using the ecotek pipe is to get around cutting the bulkhead.
Well this is my understanding anyways....

yep, you will need to cut a small hole in the bulkhead to fit a powercap. you shouldnt have to with the ecotec pipe as its quite flexible...

And the ecotec pipe does give a small power gain over the SFI box too as its less restrictive.
