I'm curious because I like to see graphs 😁

I'm a huge fan of data, but good data in our world means eliminating variables. In most cases the minimum requirements include using the same car on the same dyno with the same fuel.

I think the conclusion is pretty solid here @Nikw91, buy the cheapest pipe you can afford from a reputable brand. The research you're doing is highly unreliable since you can't isolate every variable 👍

This is getting nuts. Two shop owners who are vendors A tuner and other people who have experience are basically saying the same thing. it's still not good enough you want more graphs. Funny thing is I'd bet not one of them gets your business 🤣

Not to be rude but Derek has essentially already answered by saying the cars are typically limited by fuel quality (and not exhaust flow). There are a TON of variables in play here. Comparing different cars using different fuel ends up being an apples to oranges comparison.
I hear you both and agree with you that fuel could be a contributing factor.

Honestly… There just seems to be a LOT of coincidences in his dyno graphs then.

Some of us were just hoping that a very knowledgeable person with tons of data like Derek would show us, rather than tell us, is all.

And just to clarify, I love your company and have ordered most of my parts from your site and will continue too.

Would you guys consider a making a baseline/TSP downpipe dyno graph or hp/tq gain numbers readily available on your site to help some of us out?

Like others, I’m still undecided on what aftermarket downpipe I want and that could help me decide to buy yours!

I have ordered so much from TSP, I have earned multiple coupons from them. Lol

To be fair, the tuner works for the vendor so that could be a conflict of interest. Not saying it is.

We do appreciate your business.
