It's all good though as the little bit more noise you hear makes you feel more powerful.
If they tune performance cars, then yeah, 2-3 horsepower will be nothing because they are used to 400-600 horsepower on a regular basis. For a car with a quarter of that power, it's a different story. Trust me, having two cars making high numbers in that power range in the family, i know that a small change on a car like that is not really felt. A small change on a car as asthmatic as the PT, however, can be felt.
