Thank you for taking the time out to do a side by side test like this as it does take one and effort to get it done. Much appreciated!

Good job on putting these on the dyno.

What tuning was involved to compensate for increased exhaust flow?

I'm assuming both were Off road? Or both were either catted? Was cat back was used for the bottleneck system?

I'm kinda curious on the tuning, if it was the same car you would essentially be able to run the same tune for both kits. Not trying to defunk the test by any means, just really curious.

Car was already tuned. Timing was 25.5 to 26 up top on all the runs. We're running 1 gallon of e85 to 10 93

Set up for 22 degrees and let the knock sensor add if happy, negative knock off 3.5 to 4 all the way through

We originally were set for 20 and were getting 5.5 to 6 add with street logging. Car is pretty much capping itself at 26. Once we get the fuel system e85 rocking. We should get more

You really can't go wrong with what I call the big 3. ARH, Kooks, SW, like I said.

All these companies have performed well for us, they all have great products, and I love the fact they are all made in the USA.

I can call any of the three and talk to the owner, and they all care about their product line! And, as always, there is always the friendly rivalry, same as me and other vendors lol.

its an auto car. tune and headers

auto car robs a lot of power on the dyno. it will still translate at the track.

I would stick a cai on for another 10, and run against any 444-450 rwhp manual any day of the week
