I'm looking at a set, am I right to assume that when ordering straight from PPE that they are all non-stepped with a reducer? JW.

Are there tracking numbers? I'm out of town and would like to know if I should have somebody swing by my place to get them off of my front door step...

Jet coat was supposed to email me with them on Friday but of course they are dropping the ball. I will call them Monday but you don't have to worry about it being left on your door you have to sign for the package.

How many more dynos are needed to convince people they make power? The people that have done dynos showed gains and all our setups are different.

I'm auto and yes mildly cammed my tests were done sameday on my DE. 512z and tougelabs showed gains also with stock cams, but they are revup or HR cars.

I believe they will shine with revup and HR cars, DE's will need cams to make them truly shine as SG has proven in their tests with their LTHs, but will have gains.

More dynos mean more data plots, trends, averages, tendencies, etc. Why are you so against that? Nobody's arguing the other set ups didn't make power nor are they arguing that it won't on others.

Something that would be useful for me is to find out what level of sound is coming from them. Anyone have any idea? Are they definitely over 95 db?

I'm not even stressing myself this time around on gains...I'm going for just a hypnotic exhaust note at WOT!

On a brighter note for those HR guys! I was able to break every thing loose on my stock passenger side header...only took 2 1/2 hours by myself/pandora!

Also use fresh bolts/nuts when reinstalling any exterior/weather exposed parts. I not knowingly reused a old nut and it managed to spread to the exhaust flange lightly and no where else!

Just my observation!

It sounds very good! I love it, but the only thing keeping me from ordering is the decibel restrictions that some tracks and clubs have. If the sound is above 95dbs, I see there are exhaust systems that have silencers. Would these work? If so, do they negate the benefit of the long tube headers?

Thanks,

HydeCiel

Well anything that has to do with restricting the exhaust will effect performance. I have a single exit with one muffler no res or anything, our other HR has a FI exhaust and its like a church mouse.
