took my car to the dyno and it gave 193hp in 4th which is less than impressive given that the car advertised hp is 218 (2.5si).

Wow!!! went to the dyno to test the car with the recently installed quad exhaust and it made 219hp (201whp)at 2500mts above sea level which should be around 240hp (10% more) at sea level (stock it should make 218hp at sea level according to BMW as it's a 2.5si). this would mean that the exhaust mod added around 26hp as it was making 193hp in the same altitude just a week before . here's the graphic, I don't know much about this but maybe someone in here with more experience can shed some light on what it means.
