Default auto vs manual in the em2

my friend has an automatic ex with a muffler

I have a 5 speed ex, bone stock.

How bad would I beat him? Because he apparently thinks the muffler gives him 20 hp or something so I wanna take his money

He would need a 50shot of Nitrous to keep up with you, regardless of his exhaust. The only exhaust system that'll produce noticeable power, is a turbo system.
