Default Performance question

Hello guys, new member here and I have a question, I have a 2011 Honda Accord sedan v6 automatic transmission and I've put a k&n cold air intake and custom mufflers and I wanted to know if I can take my car to a dyno and get more horsepower? Also been looking for chips but can't find anything

Good news, bad news; Honda did an extremely good job of bleeding every last ounce of power out of your car already, your CAI and new exhaust didn't do anything, nor will any form of a chip (which is why there are none available on the market).

So so basically I can't get it to the dyno?

A dynamometer or "dyno" for short, is a device for measuring force, torque, or power. For example, the power produced by an engine, motor or other rotating prime mover can be calculated by simultaneously measuring torque and rotational speed (RPM).... but it does nothing to increase HP, that's simply not its intent

A dynamometer WILL tell you how much power you get before & after you install your goodies. So you can pay money to prove or disprove what shipo says.
