Default Came across this on ebay and was surprised

i was looking at some tc stuff on ebay.... this caught my attention the Agency power full exhaust now i read there description and they claim that particular exhaust was tested on a 06 tc with a AT tranny and they dynoed it useing a mustang dyno and claims the exhasut made 6 whp and 10 lbs of torque and could be higher with a MT..now i have the megans drift spec which is bascially the samething,....do you really think it made that much power other mods are unknowed if any...just curious cause i thought full exhasut made a few ponies but not too much....

I call shenanigans. Would need to see dyno sheet and list of other mods. MAYBE with a header... but even doubtful then.

well went from stock obviously.
to N1 Catback because it was cheap.
to AP because it was free.
to Ptuning because i was going to go turbo.
to custom 3 inch straight pipe, because i needed money so i sold the ptuning but still wanted 3" for boost.
and open DP here and there in between because it sounds beast.

Chicotunner07, go back to the stock exhaust setup and then you will notice a difference. I did when I went stock on my 07 before trade in; yes it may not be much, maybe the butt dyno, but I feel it gives a kick in the midrange RPMs.

A better flowing exhaust can definitely see gains of 6hp and 10ft/lbs but usually the gains are only seen near redline. The dyno graph on their website shows this exhaust is actually seeing gains through out the entire RPM range. It is probably because this is a cat back as opposed to an axle back like most exhaust systems offered for the tC.

so according to the graph that particular exhaust system made that much power not alot but alot more then what people claim it could make..some say exhaust system doesnt do anything for power besides noise others says 1-2 hp at the most and etc...the reason why im bringing this up cause even if most power were made by redline and exhaust sytem has the potential to add a few more ponies then what people claim.just like the injen CAI some say it doesnt do jack but others say it adds up to 10 hp and so on..i dont know it very interesting to me on theories about adding bolts on parts to the car which supposly it doesnt do anything....it allows the car to breathe i guess thats something..

I'd be hard pressed to swallow claims like that but you never know.

Our exhaust can fly you to the moon!

Check it out.
