Default ok, I give in...

After listening to the sound clips, and the video, I believe this is the winner..

I also belive you when you said the hp is what it's claimed..

Now it's the waiting game...2 weeks shouldn't be that long..right?

I just skimmed over this thread and didn't see a dyno sheet or actual numbers on gains posted, only guesses...

Is there any actual gain numbers recorded yet? I'm debating between this and Injen.. so I need #'s fast!

PS- Even though you don't have a printer for the sheet you can 1) Just memorize the numbers or write it and post it.. or take a picture of the monitor without a flash.

I did #1 but don't want to begin a war because the #'s are very impressive, I know TXStlyle is going to post Dyno Sheet and I'm positive that his car is gonna do very well!!!

OK you ask for it... My best Dyno shows that the system give the car 24.5 WHP and 15.6 TQ this is with the baseline of my last Dyno run a couple of month ago... the car was very cold and have 100 miles w the system on... believe me or not is up to you remember that I already said that I dont have Dyno Sheets to prove it.

To my knowledge the only reason he was hesitant to post his results with no proof was that, in the past, people have been very unreceptive to dyno results unless the dyno sheet was shown as proof. We've probably all witnessed flame wars start on this site simply because someone said they achieved larger-than-expected power increases from one mod or another, and other people simply didn't believe it and demanded proof.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to remember what the curves looked like? Was the power increase only near the top of the rpm range, or was it a decent increase throughout then entire power/torque curves?

No one's gonna flame since he is a fellow member, and not a vendor.. and he is also one of the first one with Borla, which has pic to prove it.. I know I believe him..

Nice numbers with the dyno.. 24.5 WHP and 15.6 TQ ! so does that mean we have a 300hp+ car? hehe..

Thumbs up I am sold!!!!!!!!!!!

I just heard sound clips on a different thread and let me tell you that system is the best I have heard!!!!!

I have a bunch of clips that I listened to from a Japanese site and this Borla system Blows them away.

The best news is that Webcarconnection is Dyno tested at 24.5 HP!!!!!

If anyone has news of a group buy I am IN!

Thanks for the video clips! Any chance of getting one from the inside of the car so we can get an idea of how it sounds and how the drone level is?

THANKS!

24whp is impressive for sure. Just to make sure, did you dyno at the same shop as you did when you got your baseline?

nice question.

another - what mileage did you have on your Z when you previously dyno'ed and what did you have just recently? Hell, I'd be happy with 15 to the wheels, 24.5!!!!wahooooo!!!!!

See no flames, just love!

thanks for posting the info. I am sure MANY people are going to run out and buy one real soon. (I did!)

24HP gain? I dont believe it!!!
Show us proof!

j/k, haha

On the serious note, 24.5 WHP gain with a stock car with exhaust only? That is awesome! Congrats on being one of the first to have this kick *** exhaust!

peace

That is an awesome gain! I really didnt believe that you could gain that much with just a cat back. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

It will be nice when a few other members can post their results so we can get an average.

I am real excited about this exhaust. Making all the other exhaust systems out there look pretty inadequate right now. Just need to save up some money, lol.

I wonder if this exhaust will start having a backorder and wait period.....................I hope not.
