Here's the info from the thread (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=757888) and it adds up:
  • VF620 Baseline with Stock Exhaust - 532 WHP / 353 WTQ
  • VF620 + RPi X-Pipe - 580 WHP / 379 WTQ (X-Pipe Delta of 48 WHP / 26 WTQ)
  • VF620, RPi X-Pipe & 5 Gallons of 109 - 601 WHP / 391 WTQ (Race Gas Blend Delta of 21 WHP / 12 WTQ)


So IMO the numbers add up, but if you're going to be suspect of anything it's the near 50 WHP the RPi X-Pipe yielded. The Akra Exhaust on this car certainly is the highest quality piece available, but there are other exhaust systems that eliminate the cats completely & offer greater gains.
