guys more posts please..
i dont know what cool cat is saying about it not making power and how he has to modify it to make it road usable. but the ASR and RPi exhaust are the only exhaust that have showed power gains, and everyone who has the ASR exhaust will tell you there is a significant improvement down low, i wish i could tell you first hand, but my ASR gen III comes in this week so ill post up a video review, and let you know how it goes

OK guys so waiting for your input on this.
Make sure to dyno your car before and after on an independent dyno. Or at least do as I did, go out and take some acceleration times, different speeds on different gears, and tell us.
For the moment the only "proved" "showed" power gains I have seen published is ONE dyno that had been done on ONE car by the proper exhaust manufacturer!!!!
So please don't get fooled by the tremendous noise and drone the exhaust is producing to say there is a power gain, do some measurements of the performance and share here.
Cheers,

Yes it seems I am the only one...But I do have a very rare habit...I like to control and verify things myself, instead of believing what vendors say, and what buyers like to believe after having spent a few thousand $...
I'd like some people here to do the same as I did.
I do not know if I got power gains, I just said I got some more torque low down. I just fitted one more silencer before the rear mufflers. My intention was just to reduce the terrible drone ( in which I only succeeded partly ) so it was a nice surprise to see that torque increase.

I will be doing these tests as I got access to my own dyno. Will do many runs before, after fitment and 1000km later and post up my findings.

Hi Coolcat, what kind/brand of silencer did you use to tame your exhaust? I'm also trying to tame down my drone but not sure which resonator to use? Thanks.
