Well, I have already been wrong once... in regards to what I thought our full exhaust would gain... So Im going to play it conservative with the S-Pipe.
I would imagine we will see about another 3-5 HP gain from the S-Pipe.... More if you already have a header installed.
I really wouldnt see why gains of 15-20whp arent doable with full header, S-Pipe, and exhaust..... Unless the cylinder head doesnt flow that well stock?

I'm sure IkonXone has great reasons but that seems to be the only case where the problem wasn't resolved. Some businesses are slow, some have crappy response times on emails but other than IkonXone, is there anyone else who was cheated out of money?
I mean all businesses get bad reviews from customers from time to time, but overall those seem to make up a small percentage of overall service. I'm not trying to start a war here but whenever tcTunerz is mentioned, all that is brought up is IkonXone and what happened to him a long time ago between him and Quick. Besides in these days, I prefer to handle things with lawyers and banks than by calling for a public ban on a message board because they took extra time to ship me a product.

Hey everyone,
We are bringing Philip's car back into the shop this coming monday. The goal is to complete our prototyping of the S-Pipe during this visit.
The reason it is taking us long to create these S-Pipes is due to the high quality standards we set for ourselves. We need to make sure the flange we use on the entrance to the S-Pipe is machined properly to provide proper sealing for the stock donut gasket on the manifold. It would be easy for us to weld on a flat flange and jerry rig something to work. But that's not how we do business.
We want to release these kits ASAP... I think the Scion tC owners who purchase our kit will be as pleased as the Mazda3 owners who have been clearing our inventory out every couple of months. Look for another update in about 7-10 days.
Thanks!
Nikolas

Correct.... We will incorporate a deeper O2 Sensor bung that should perform the exact same purpose the Anti-Foulers do... removing the O2 Sensor far enough out of the exhaust pipe, thus preventing the CEL from coming on. However, I do not know what effect this will have on cars that still have the stock exhaust manifold, so we will more than likely test this on Phillips car first.

Sorry if I came across as being negative, but I think this will be a great mod if they can make some good gains out of it.
$hit! I'm being negative again!

*sigh* Missing my baby... the Chevy Malibu rental just aint the same as my tC. Can't wait to get her back. Looking forward to the new S-Pipe and tip being on. Will go to get new dynos run when I get the car back so you guys can see the gains asap. Some complete pics and a new video clip will be taken when the kit is done also.

Phillip is picking his Scion tC up this morning with the new high flow S-Pipe installed. This now completes the package of our Scion tC Exhaust Kit.
He will be dynoing his tC around 1:30pm this afternoon. We expect to post results late this evening.
At this point, we are about 4-5 weeks away from having kits ready to ship out. If you are interested in placing an order after you see our new dyno numbers, please go to our store:
http://store.draxas.com/detail.asp?Cat=&Sub=&Item=520#
Your credit card will NOT be billed until we are ready to ship the kits out to you.
We have changed the tip to an angled cut, double walled, stainless steel tip to better match the curve of the rear bumper. Expect new pics of the system/tip to be posted tomorrow or maybe even later this evening.
If you have any questions for me, please post them here or email me at:
Nikolas@Draxas.com
