**** PLEASE DO NOT POST OR REPLY TO THIS THREAD *******

Once the shootout is all wrapped up we will lock it, close it and pin it to the top.

I want to make a few statements here. First off do not get all caught up in the peak HP number. All dynos read different. This is why we have a base line run to see the gains made with each pipe. The dyno used is a dyno jet dyno. All of the pipes were tuned for max HP. Some pipes liked 13-1 a/f and some liked 13.8-1.

1. WILL THE AFTER MARKET EXHAUST PIPES MAKE MORE HP THEN THE STOCK EXAUST WITH THE BAFFLE PULLED OUT?
A. YES ..... All of the pipes tested ..... SO FAR.... did make more HP then the stock exhaust with the baffle pulled out. Most of the aftermarket pipes tested were VERY close. Some made a little more then others.

2. DB'S ...... All of the db testing was done at 3750 RPM. The spark arrestors were removed on the aftermarket exhausts for this test.

3. All dyno runs were done with 91 octane pump gas.

The dyno sheets will be listed below. We will show each pipe run layed up aginst the stock pipe with the baffle pulled. Then you can see how much better each pipe does over the stock set up.

The n-motion pipe is available with 2 canister options a 9 inch canister, a 12 inch low db canister. The 12 inch low db canister is $85.00 extra. The n-motion pipe does have a riveted canister this will make repacking the canister alittle more time consuming.
