Welcome to the forum.
You're not going to like this but I suggest you dump the HPP3 and get a custom tune. The muffler really doesn't rob any power, at least not at your level of mods. Stick around and read all of the posts in the new member section, there's tons of info here.

Welcome. I second trever: get a custom tune. You'll see way more gains than with the Hpp3.

Welcome to the site!

Ditch that hand held for sure and go with the custom tune. Get yourself a cat back or put a free flowing muffler on there, longtubes, CAI or mod your stock intake.
