First of all I'd like to thank you for putting together a group buy, your prices look great!

So what were the results?
I have to agree with Menace. If there is (also not knocking or doubting your exhausts/R&D) dyno testing done, it would definitely help with the sale of the item.

FWIW, and coming from the S2000 crowd, there are lots of high priced catback exhausts for the S2k (I'm sure for scions too) that people pay top $ for. And after dyno testing them, some did not see any real performance gain, 1 actually hurt performance vs the S2k OEM exhaust. I wouldn't want to pay $600+ to have a "nice" sound only.

Would you have any results from the dyno testing?

btw, this is my first post. I've lurked around for a while, but just recently joined.
Greetings from another Car Enthusiast, I love the Scion tC!

No problem at all. I would honestly give out a free catback to anyone willing to do a back to back dyno test. I can GUARANTEE we will come out on top. We have been building exhaust systems for a long time and know exactly what makes power and what doesn't.

I'll do it.

I can do it as soon as Monday if you like, I'm also local so I can pick up and discuss in person.

I'd like to hear a clip of a turbo tc with 3" back but with a 2.5" downpipe. basically 2.5" from turbo to donut then 3" back with or without a muffler. If you can find a tc like that, i might be interested.

Ya, people are getting their exhaust systems early next week from UPS so hopefully they can get some clips posted. If you run a 3" turbo back without a muffler it will sound similar to a SRT-4 as they usually run no mufflers.

Ya, the nice thing is our system is so versitle. We can build the system exactly to your needs and offer so many different mufflers.





I never heard what happened to ZPI, but it doesn't sound good.

We already found a person to dyno for us, but I am sure you would greatly benefit from our exhaust if you don't have a true 3" system.
