Man I was reading the June issue of import tuner, and they actually were trying to denounce the power addages of your exhaust, and they had to eat their words.. I didn't know Tony was a rocket scientist...

They interviewed him, and eventhough in the first pass w/ an 04 Z, ART Testpipes and Resonated V2 exhaust installed it got upwards of 10+ hp and about 17lb-ft torque, he wasn't satisfied..

He made them use an 07, revup engine w/ a stock airbox and dropin filter rather than a cone filter and short ram intake.. They also just used the Shockwave V2 HFCs(not testpipes) and w/ that setup, they got 22.7 hp gains and 17.9 lbs-ft of torque..

Then they put on some testpipes (brand X) and got only 23 hp and 31.8 torque (and that's w/ TESTPIPES.. not too much difference)...

WELL, then they put on the Motordyne ART Testpipes... bwahahahahahha... they got an ADDITIONAL 11.2 hp and 28.7 lbs-ft torque on TOP Of the brand X test pipes...

DUDE!!!! That's CRAZY..

They were actually trying to disprove how well these parts worked, and had to EAT THEIR WORDS... Looks like you really have a great exhaust system coming man and I can't wait to see, hear, and ride in it to feel the difference..

I'll bring you the article so you can read it.. and get excited for yourself.

If you have the car jacked up. Set it on a jack stand. Take the nut off the endlink. Next put a jack under the hub assembly and as the suspension goes up the tension will come off the endlink and it will pop out of the lower control arm

Those gains almost sound too good to be true. I'm definitely waiting for results because that would be SICK if it is true....

might have to go pick up a copy of import tuner just to read this for myself.....
