Well, since there are obviously so many ways to state what I did, and you all understood exactly what I meant; my way is just as valid as any of the others mentioned.

No way man. It's "the same every time" and "right on". But then again, I ain't never even finished college...

interesting opinion on G-tech, that is called "reliability" when it is constantly accurate against itself, but may not be 100% correct (which is called "validity"), see I did learn something while working on my masters thesis
the .19 quater would be consistant with approx 20 HP, sounds GREAT

hmmm dont yuou mean Precision vs accuracy?
precision refers to the smallest variance recorded when reproducing a variable. Accuracy refers to the smallest variance between said variable and a "known" standard.
prolly semantics anyhow...

AHHHH, so many damn words!!
One of the benefits of becoming an engineer is that after a short time, you don't need to use them any more. Just focus on a couple of equations like F=ma and T=Ia and w= (k^1/2)/m
At this point, all I know is that I want this exhaust.
Thanks for the review, raceboy!

Damn.....this thread sure went off on a tangent....all i wanted was a dyno sheet.
Raceboy, i noticed that on this exhaust there's no equalization tube, since it's a true dual. Do you hear decceleration popping in the exhaust when you let off the gas?

raceboy, that's good news about the exhaust fitting with thicker sway bars, and it sounds like you don't consider the number of clamps an issue. Qusetion, do you think the exhaust would have to be removed to replace the rear sway bar? This might help determine what order to do those two modifications for those considering both.
Also, how much louder would you say it is than the stock unit? Is it okay on long trips in your opinion?

Practically every exhaust I've seen has some sort of arrangement of tubes to connect both sides of the exhaust in order to smooth out the sound.
Doesn't the new viper do the same thing since the original exhaust system sounded like a UPS truck with only the 5 cylinders exiting on each side?
What defines a dual exhaust anyway?
Thanks,

I think originally the b/w installation graph shows there's a horizontal pipe between the two exhaust pipes right after the cat, but the finaly version does not have that pipe anymore.. it's a TRUE DUAL EXHAUST>.

I'm an oldy from way back when a dual exhaust meant a single line for each side and no connections what-so-ever. That to me is a true dual exhaust.

So when you say that the final version doesn't have this crossover then how many prototypes did they ship out because all the pics show the connection.
Just my $.02

Does it really matter if there is a cross-over pipe between the two sides? Would performance really suffer that much, if at all? I'm trying to get a grasp on the pros and cons of having such a connection.
From what I've gleaned off this discussion thus far:
1) A crossover pipe could smooth out the sound a bit.
2) A crossover pipe could potentially reduce performance (flow) if a signficant amount of exhaust gas was to travel through the crossover and cause a reduction of flow in the main pipes.
This sound about right?

I never posted numbers from the old version because they were identical to stock.

Regardless, its good to hear that you had some type of positive improvement. I agree that it should be dyno'd to tell us the true and accurate gains but just as long as you are satisfied with the exhaust, then it's all good. Have fun with it and drive hard!

An H pipe or an X pipe both allow equalization of pressure between two pipes. They sound different from each other but both provide better power gains over two separate pipes. The Borla is a true dual setup, it just has something that is technologically more advanced than the previous favorite setup. I mean, just because your an oldy doesn't mean you still use an abacus, does it?
An H pipe gives a more muscular sound and an X pipe gives a more exotic sound. Don't confuse these with a Y pipe which combines two into one. It is quite simple. Look at the respective letters and that is what the setup looks like.
