Love the "customer review" at the bottom of the page:
"Author: Phil Mackinson
I have this on my RX8. The fit is good, the ceramic coating is great and we were really surprized by the dyno numbers. +28HP from just this alone. We're anxious to see how this does when we get rid of the CAT. Install was easy, but we needed some extensions to get to the bolts on the motor. Overall, we're really pleased."

Lol... remember the days when people would take all of the advertised hp claims of the mods on their car and just add them together to get total hp? "My Z28 with catback and intake is at about 500 wheel...."

^I overheard 2 ricers do just that several years ago when I was at a Barnes and Noble. I was looking at some car books and 2 kids were there also doing the same. One of them had an Eclipse and the "smart" one drove a Civic Si. The smart kid proceeded to tell his Eclipse driving buddy that a catback could get him 15 hp, a header could get him 10 hp, an exhaust tip(!!!) could get him 3 (I had a hard time not laughing at that one), an intake could get him 10hp, a flywheel could get him 15, and so forth and so on. The Eclipse kid was all excited. You could see the money burning a hole in his pocket. The final tally was something like 70 additional hp with bolt ons.
I actually did laugh out loud a little bit and the "smart" kid called me out on it. We argued a bit and he basically couldn't stay on topic any longer and started quizzing me about what I drive and how I must be jealous of his car and how mine sucked and yada yada yada. That was a pretty funny conversation. Typical ricer logic.
