It was cold at the time and the results do vary a lot, but getting 20 out of the full race exhaust is not far fetched even on the low end.

With a good tune your turbo should get some great gains.

The biggest hurdle at the point is the ignition 330 hp seems to be the limit on a stock system.

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

You might want to do some searching before making a claim, you of all people should know this.

Looks like you are the one not letting go.

Alright, I gotta jump in here for sec....

1) There is NO exhaust out there that is going to make you 25 hp. PERIOD.
2) If there was, we would ALL have it!

Plus, I prefer that my exhausts be properly designed for the US market and not burn up my exhaust shrouds.

Anybody know what grade stainless steel is used in the TurboXS exhaust? I need to extend my tips because my exhaust shrouds are melting after only 3000 miles.

Read the thread I posted, Either the two that had it dynoed are liars or it does.

I will choose to believe them.

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
Just for clarification we are talking crank numbers not whp right..??

I have 4500 miles on mine with no issue, most of the people that are having the problem have the stock cat.

That's not true. I have been running the RX8Store HFC with my TurboXS catback since day one and my shrouds melted. It has nothing to do with the cat. It is because the tips don't extend far enough out to clear the rear bumper. I'm not complaining. I like everything about my exhaust. I just want to extend the tips so I don't melt my new shrouds.

A catalytic convertor does raise exhaust gas temps.
