it was the only thing different...I made sure all variables were the same.
Including the weather?

yeah....it was a spur of the moment thing to rev it under the interstate. I was really disappointed in the audio on playback. Its much louder at full throttle than the iphone gave it credit for.

Temperature is only one parameter to weather. I'd consider barometric pressure far more important than temperature. A high pressure system might bring a slightly higher temperature and a LOT more performance.

What were your trap speeds? Trap speed never lies unless they're from different days. Then it's all guesswork unless you know the density altitude from both runs.

I'm sorry, I didn't bring my weather station with me that day. And the pressure difference was neglible according to weather bug. They were back to back runs almost....the night before and the next mid morning.

I dont even know why I even respond but here are the trap speeds:

105.00 @ 13.29 and 104.64 @ 13.47

Trap speed suggests an 8 hp gain...or just about exactly the same as everyone elses axle backs.

(DA and other minor differences could certainly account for a 1-2 hp margin of error either way, even differences you consider negligible like say, the amount of fuel in the car).

Any problems with the exhaust so far. Is it very loud or quiet like the Tanabe, since it look exactly the same as the tanabe. Inside the car is loud, do you get any drone. That should tell you if its worth the trouble

Here is a pic of mine. Had it for about 10 months. Sounds good. Not too loud and it does look like a Tanabe. Fitment was slightly off when I installed it, but took it to a muffler shop to tweak it a bit. Not a bad price. Biggest decision would be to buy this or if you can find a used Tanabe. I'm not in it for performance gains because I know they're minimal with all exhausts.
