Extra power on demand...

from what i've witnessed first hand on a couple different applications with these 'traps'.. is that when the butterfly is closed, there is still exhaust being vented through (leaking to the atmosphere)... and the sound is very noticeable and whistley..
eh, not worth the money... IMO

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.

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
