Just remembering back to an old thread that said it was roughly 14rwkw for the muffler and 4rwkw for the Y pipe. Now that I've seen the system how was the muffler connected without the Y pipe?

The muffler can connect to the rest of the system without needing to remove or change anything. You just remove the oem muffler and put the new one in.

Stage 2 was Y pipe all the way back.

OK, so just the muffler without even the mid pipe. I was wondering if the mid pipe would bolt up to the stock Y pipe but obviously that's not the way it was done.

Yeah it ended up as a two piece section for the Y and mid pipe so its easier to be sent.

When the original system was on mine it was the muffler and then one long section from the front to the muffler. It was hard to fit and harder to send.

Thats on noce looking system with good gains. The lack of flex sections worries me a little - my turbo RX5 was for ever breaking the dump pipe at the first muffler until i added a flex.

Whats the all up $$$ ?

Check the group buy thread there is a good deal on.

The system has a full five year warranty, they say there will be no problems not having the flexble sections especially on a rear drive car.

Interesting exhaust, and I like the sound. It is rather expensive for an exhaust at this point, but if it does make that much power then I guess it is worth it. Wish the numbers were in HP for us Americans. Never expected that much power out of a non-true dual exhaust. One question, how big are the diameters for this exhaust??

You sould see between 22 - 24 rwhp with this high quality system and a weight saving of 13lbs, costs around US$900.

Man, you know those are the best HP numbers in current production. And the dyno numbers are right there. To be honest, sounds too good to be true.

BTW, what are the diameters of the piping for this exhaust??

wow 24 hp from an n/a exhaust??? I'd really have issues trusting that dyno, BUT since I wasn't there to see it or drive it then I'll STFU until I'm proven right or wrong. Nice find though and if it holds to those increases its KING of exhausts in my book.

yes, we show HP much lower than you guys.

Our cars dyno 145KW or sub 200hp standard instead of the 220+ you'd expect. It's just the way they set them up here.

The main thing is that it is rear wheel KW and you need to see the DIFFERENCE made at the wheels.
Theoreticaly a US dyno should show more of a gain than we've seen here in Australia since we start with a handicap.

I've put my name down for the group buy because i've seen Nathans car get dynoed, I saw nismor's car at the track this week.... it was amazing.
Knowing that these guys have no gain in it to post dynos I can tell you those dyno sheets are for real. I mean Nathan runs in the 24hr Bathurst race which even the USA gets to watch. Thats a pretty good endorsement imho.

Thanks Zuff (Zuffy )

I thought that I had read that somewhere about differences between dynos.

so I guess what zuff is saying is that it is legit. Don't fault us for doubting it, the huge companies have put out stuff that shows much less power. I have to wonder what the difference is between this exhaust and all the others. Man, it is not even a true dual exhaust.

Well if you read the threads they have made a performance guarantee...

if you don't get the power promissed you have 30days to return it for a refund. I think they have an office in CA so if someone is local there they might want to give it a try...that way you won't lose out on freight.

I don't see any issues on how a pro race exhaust company can't beat the mainstream players. You might want to have another look at the dyno sheets..

Anyway, once I have it on i'll post my dyno sheets also.
