I doubt it. Unless I hear otherwise, I'm assuming it's 9-15 with every tweak. I'd be in if it was 12HP on a stock car.

So how did that conversation at RP go?
"We quote 12 HP because we see 9-15 HP gains, so let's post the dyno chart that shows an 8.7 HP increase"
Where's the 15 HP dyno? Or even the dyno that breaks 9 HP?

If I was RP I would say "That chart was using a version of the cat that is two revisions old".
But, I am not expecting anything more then 5hp from the cat to be honest.
There are still a lot of people that have not paid. Pony up or let us know you're out.

What is it that I'm missing?
(BTW -- If I had the money, I'd be getting this regardless...)

If you want Major HP gains let me guide you... 20B, 26B, Turbo or SuperCharger. Intakes, Headers, Cats, Exhausts, etc... on the 8 will not make super HP like they do on a Mustang.
Just go to Ebay and by that little fuel saver 20HP gaining chip they sell there man. For Christ’s-sake.. why do you feel the need to hi-jack this thread? Move along... nothing for you to see here.
Respectfully,
Dan

This was posted earlier on. I guess I can forgive RP for not saying as low as 8.7 HP and as high as 15.2. I guess some other cannot?

1.) Does this cat have a heat shield?
Yes it does have a heat shield on top. The picture on the website is not current. I have seen quite a few pictures of it on the forum. If a good, clear and current picture is needed, it can be provided.
2.) Is this the New Higher-flowing more opened mesh version you all were working on?
This is the newer, freer flowing unit (not that the old one was an issue). The active metals content is even higher than before (platinum, palladium and rhodium)
3.) Can buyers opt to have the Hanger or resonators added to their cat prior to shipping?
a.) Do you have a flat rate for Hanger Service?
As of now, we do not have a shippable hanger solution. We will, but not right now. It is a bolt on hanger and can be added in the future. The subframe realignment has been effective in avoiding pipe to brace interference.
b.) Do you have a flat rate for Resonator Service?
We do have a stainless resonator that can be added, if desired. It is the same unit we use on the midpipe. This adds $80 to the total and is not a normally stocked item, but would not be an issue to produce.
4.) What are your rough claims of HP gains with this current Cat?
HP has been tested many times. We've seen as much as 15HP improvement and as little as 9HP. About 12HP is what we tell everyone is realistic.
5.) Will you all accept PayPal payments too?
Yes we do accept paypal. The address we use is paypal@rx7.com

Maybe they could include a couple sales from outside the group buy, consider them part of the group buy, charge them the regular price, and get those that have paid shipped. Then when the others in the group buy get around to paying they can have theirs shipped then, or in the next 20 group ship package. Just a suggestion.
