I have to admit that I didn't see these top end gains coming esquire.

The largest benefit I saw with the data available to me before making the purchase back jn Oct was how much low end torque increases with this x-pipe. Like I've said before, with the blower and stock exhaust, WOT acceleration at low RPM was still disappointing to me.

After installation of the exhaust, the difference in low-end grunt was so significant that it rendered my "power" button completely useless as going WOT would just spin the tires. Too much throttle sensitivity and too much torque and not enough tire. Oh well disabling the power button is an easy solution.

The gains up top are just gravy.
