quoting myself and answering my own Question...

I asked my mechanic, and YES, as i thought, a silencer WOULD defeate the whole purpose of it being a 3" pipe. it would be like running a one and a half inch pipe, haha.

You might want to do some searching before making a claim, you of all people should know this.
The full exhaust without tune pulled 25 HP out of Armaant and Polak confirmed, with it tuned it pulled 34hp

Most of it does come from the race pipe 15-17 HP not tuned

hey....

from what Ive read, the racepipe DOES give you some HP gain, but text is just text. we cant always go with what we read... I'll get you guys some numbers soon.

but... for the record... Im turbo charged, so the results will differ from an NA

So you have installed or used the exhaust?

1. Person claims the exhaust makes power
2. You call BS.
3. The point is made that well known members have dynoed the exhaust and backed up the numbers
4. You call BS until you see it with your won eyes.

So you are saying the well known members are liars.

How hard is this to understand...

I dont think DeeDubb is saying it makes NO numbers, all he is saying is that it doesent make Magical numbers.

Im sure the exhaust makes some result (otherwise it wouldnt sell) but its not gonna be some "OMG" numbers... nothing magical.

How hard is this to understand...
1. I agree it makes power but something mythical like in the realms of 25 whp on a N/A rx8
2. I called BS, yes, on the mythical hp figures.
3. I don't care what well known members have dynoed, kinda like saying that when the k&n intake came out people were dynoing at 10 hp and others lost 3-4 hp.
4. I never said they were liars, again you still stick to your story...let it go man..

Now how hard is that to understand?

They said they obtained a number and you are calling BS. Please explain how that is not calling someone a liar.

Previously you stated 20 whp was a "mythical" number; nice how your number keeps increasing...
