Anyway, check the first page for the dyno results.
I'm still trying to figure out how to upload video's onto my computer.

It looks like there is much more hp and torque at 2K rpm that with the stock exhaust. At cruising speeds this would translate to quicker acceleration. Now let us hear what this sounds like.

hmmm. now im curious about pairing this w/ a nice set of pro-cats

no, its technically at the wheels.. .. the gains are there (if his dynos are accurate)..
since there's less back-pressure, all the gains are @ lower RPM.
say the car @ 2k rpm is reading 50.. with the exhaust, it reads 100... but when the car is at like 3k rpm... its gonna be like 120 w/o exhaust and 130 with..
the power is kicking in sooner, which gives you GREAT throttle response when you mash down the pedal. so when you are driving normally (2k - 4k rpm) the car is gonna feel really powerful.. if you are driving hard @ like 6k rpm, the gains are only 9~10whp, so you can really notice it....

oh definitely. the air flows much more freely. pair it w/ a CAI, eshift cats...you will feel it for sure, and you will actually increase your MPG.. that is until you slam on the gas to hear how great it sounds... then you burn all your gas
anyways, not to get off topic... we're still waiting !! (or atleast i am) i neeeeeed to see & hear video clips! i want to buy this for my birthday gift to myself.
would it be ready by nov. 25th? lol

I've never been a fan of aftermarket exhaust on an automatic - it seems out of place to hear this sweet sound get mumbled when the auto is shifting once you take your foot out of the throttle. Maybe this will be better.

well dont forget, we've got the sport tranny. so you can really control the sounds. on my blackura, i had the comptech, eshit, cai etc.etc.. and i would fck with the sport transmission so much that people often though i had a stick, and asked me if it was 6spd....

well as stated in many threads... dynos measure HP to the WHEELS, where as car manuf. rate horse power at the crank.
286hp engine... 5AT tq. converter sucks up power, drivetrain friction, wheel weight, tire size, heat and humidty all drain your power...
a stock 5AT TL-S should probably put down around 240whp... a 6MT probably puts down about 255whp. no car will dyno @ the wheels the same as @ the crank...
this exhaust? w/o an intake, i would guess around 8-9 whp gains

It sit's perfectly flush with the rear stock bumper. I bet it would look even sweeter with the a-spec rear!

If I recall correctly, everything is the same, except the hangers are little different.
