Thanks Nawazz for this work. This definitely helped my decision. I've always thought an increase in 50 bhp/tq and 100 lbs weight loss would make this car perfect. This looks absolutely obtaining now.

This is really all the power I'm looking for.

Does the car exhibit the low RPM dip that seem to plague members running full exhaust with hi-flo cats or no cats?

If so, is it noticeable?

Does the car feel and drive like stock across the entire RPM range but with more more throughout? Would love to get your thoughts on how the car drives now.
I saw the early dyno graphs from Nawaaz's tuning session, and his dip wasn't nearly as bad as the Akra and some of the other full exhausts. You can still see it in the middle chart above, but Jeremy did a good job flattening that out and it's basically gone by the third chart (post-tuning).

+1

Nawaaz did about as good a job as one could in minimizing the variables, and came out with some very impressive gains.

Video can't capture Nawaaz's car. The microphone would rupture and the lens would shatter. It is a MAN's car. Actually, Frank captured the beast in his exhaust comparison video in the gallery forum.
