Looks about right, I had similar mods and had a very similar take away from you. About 5-8whp more everywhere with the big jump in midrange due to lowering vtec and then torque didn't drop off as much at 8k+

You'd gain more from about 4-6k with a single exhaust and you'd pick up more low end (2.3-5k) with a tube style intake (like Aem/Fujita/Injen)

My power looks about the same, except it doesn't die off up top as much as yours does, stock ecu dies off up top because it goes SUPER rich after 8k. Do you know your AFRs? We have almost identical midrange / peak torque, but my car is showing 226ish whp at like 8.5krpms.

What size test pipe? Exhaust diameter?

Altitude, dyno type, different car/miles/wear. The variables are unlimited. I'd be happy to make 180 whp on my stock AP2 with 50k miles here at 6000+ feat.

Greddy tic dual, with 70 mm test pipe. They are both a bit restrictive. the test pipe has that cell fix thingy, which is basically a mini-cat and definitely messes up the airflow. the exhaust is 70mm splits into 60mm but the canisters are 50mm. definitely could be better with a single and a proper testpipe
