Well, Supersprint finally got back to me on my inquiry about their exhaust. Unfortunately it is not available now. Claims were made for end of April, but we all know how dates get pushed out. They also threw in a "tuner speak" claim that has me on guard. I've attached my response below, see if you can find the "tuner speak" that bothers me.

[red]Thanks for the reply,

Please do mail me an update when the exhaust is available in April. I would also be interested in a better clarification of what "a 40% increase in Torque

so they have not dynoed the exhaust but they can already say it will gain 8HP and 40% more torque?

Yeah, Mingster. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt about the claims w/no dyno. I assume the claim is from Italy and that the NA office will dyno to verify. The 40% thing is what I really don't like. I'm very interested in the rationalization of that one (a typo, should have been 4% etc.).

Sounds a little bogus to me. 40% more torque but only a 3% HP improvement?

No lvs2k, not 40% more torque, a freaking turbo charged car wouldn't pick up that much power from an exhaust . No they say 40% more torque performance. Now their definition of torque performance would be interesting, no?
