The single and dual are very similar but with a small edge to the single.

The diffuser tip reduces exhaust system pressure drop by 0.7 PSI. ...It also enhances the sound quality.

Yes, the diffuser is louder than a regular tip but it also does something really nice to the sound quality. You have to do a live side by side comparison to appreciate it. It reveals engine sound detail that doesn't come through on video.

You could potentially incorporate the diffuser tip into a more traditional "shell" (strictly for cosmetics), could you not? For those that would want to, I could see an exhaust shop fabbing Ti cylindrical tips over the cones...

Anyone know how much power it will make with just the exhaust and not the XYZ pipe? will it make a bit more power than stock if I just buy the exhuast and not the XYZ pipe?

Yes it will make more power than stock, but for best results you need both.

As the current trend shows, without the XYZ pipe, it should still make a couple extra Hp over any other exhaust that does not swap out the Y pipe.

It will make gains but it will definitely do better with the XYZ.

It also sounds a lot better too. The stock Y-pipe sound is somewhat dull.

The sound becomes a lot livelier with the XYZ. Its loud yet practical and the sound quality is awesome.

But look out if you add unresonated test pipes to it... WOW!!! Its 10X more intense and krackels like lightning bolts are shooting out of the tip.

Its not for everybody, but damn I love it.

No tickets. ...Yet

In fact, I've been driving around many cops with no reaction.

I even had a cop on my tail after turning through an intersection... no reaction. But I made sure to barely touch the gas pedal on acceleration.

All it takes is one good stab of the gas pedal with a cop around to get. ShockWave on test pipes is 110% street Illegal.

Of course the axle back section of ShockWave can be switched out for the VQ muffler for near total silence. Or the Harakiri or Gamma muffler as intermediates.

I switch through them from time to time for a nice change.

The Harakiri single is much quieter than the ShockWave))).

But if you are running a high power TT (600+HP) system you may want to wait for the full dual 3" system.

The dual 3" system will also have all the axleback options of ShockWave))), Gamma and Harakiri but I will put a lot of effort into making the option for both quiet and high power simultaneously.

I know a lot of people need quiet and high power together on their FI systems.

I've been looking for information on the Gamma and Harakiri singles

Do you know of any websites or distributors?

I'm not in the 600 ball park and i don't intend to be so it's not an issue.

I'm probably going to stick my my oem y-pipe until you release a 3" xyz. Cause I'm cheap... lol

Yes. The XYZ has 2.5" primary tubes with a tuned 3" collector outlet.

I just wish you made a harakiri that looked like the agency power or the aam like originally planned. I dont like the way that would look as a single for NA guys.
