Disappointing HKS Dual Exhaust Dyno Numbers!

Disappointing HKS Dual Exhaust Dyno Numbers!
Went to the dyno today to see what I picked up on the dyno after the HKS install and I only picked up 5 HP and 4 TQ Peak at the wheels. I was 10 degrees hotter from my last dyno but I doubt that made a difference. I will post dynos later. I probably need a UTEC.

don't mean to hijack this thread but....
is it me or is it that exhaust systems aren't the best-bang-for-your buck mod....
what's the cost of the hks exhaust? 900-1200 dollars for a mere 5 hp/4 lb-ft of torque peak gain.... mrev plus nets near 15+ hp/tq gain across the power band for less than 700 bucks...
i guess the pros would be the 55lb weight loss (any loss of unsprung weight is a definite plus), good Ti looks, and good sound.... you win some you lose some...

I mean, look at the small block Chevy. I'ts MUCH cheaper to get an extra 150 ponies out of that than the VQ 35. Heck, throw on an intake, carb, headers, cams, a little head work, pistons, and rods and you still haven't spent the price of a SC for the G.

The pros of this exhaust are looks, sound, weight loss, and compatibility with a TT.

it looks nice..... but you gatta be kidding me that all you do is add exhaust and think you're going to yield some astronomical numbers..... all you are is creating a better air flow (mind you the bottle neck is in the headers AND the catalylic converters....... 4 filters.....) the exhaust is relieving a little bit of back pressure..... did you loose low end torque btw.......... you need FI to yield some super high numbers..... all these little AIR upgrrades will yield little here and there but that's about it......
