eh, not worth the money... IMO
careful what you say in this thread, these owners are die-hard believers and will not take no for an answer. Dont have your own opinion about this product or you will be flamed....

These things are a joke...

Much like: pulse plugs and tornadonators or something.

It just allows quick exhaust gas expulsion through a larger pipe.
I can't see it being beneficial to a NA car, possibly a FI car, but not NA.

20-40hp gains are also hard to believe.

I posted two dyno graphs showing the gains. Other people who have this mod have stated they made gains as well. Stop hating...

I wouldn't doubt that something like this has happened, but so far nobody in my area has experienced any issues, and they've been running this setup for about a year now.

So let me get this strait you think this makes no difference, I've got news for you Backpressure reduces horsepower

Having the ability at any time to pick 15-20 High rpm horsepower , When you go to the track are the cars Quiet?

Mufflers and bent pipe create back pressure= Loss of power, Trust me i've spent enough time on a dyno to know

O i almost forgot there are 5 True Street Overall Winner Trophies siting on my mantle that say it makes a difference

The older ones would leak after some time, but the newer ones are using a knife edge design which reseats itself every time it is opened and closed. But i'm sure over time they will start to leak, Go thing you can order parts to rebild them
