Anyone else think this is bs? I never seen any exhaust giving that much increase at the wheels..
25hp at wheels is no joke.
$1200 / 25= $48 per 1 horsepower

Cayman also mentioned that if you didnt have a fan blowing on teh car during the dyno it lost a lot of power, but if you did it helped a lot. Too bad we cant test the hp of a car when its actually moving in the real world vs. blowing a large fan on it
Look at the stock exhaust, its trashy, pipes are all thin, not true dual, not mandrel bent

I did check with Jacen at LMS and it does remove the cats. So we are going to be selling it as off road use only, since all you guys know how wonderful the state of Cali is on emmisions. That could explain the gains that they have been showing. As far as availablility goes, we should be able to start ordering and shipping these out by thursday.

So as you can see I have been off my *** didn't have to search because I read it when it was first posted. Please don't assume people haven't done the research. My interest would be with the gains with the intake since I do have LMS intake and be more relevant for my set up to know what the gains are with both products.

there's a 3 page threat on my.is about the 25 hp gain, and the 25 hp gains were the max represented with the exhaust but according to LMS this setup was EXTREMELY loud. so yes 25 hp but at the cost of a race car sound (literal). now wether the sold version is that version or a quieted down i do not know. so you now know where the 25 came from.
i dont know about you guys but i'm not touching any performance products until someone has EXTENSIVELY tested this new motor on a dyno to see exactly what it is. trial and error with exhausts and intakes might find some nice sweet sports for performance upgrades, but personally i want to some statistical and engineering documentation done on the car by someone (say blitz and what they've found from s/c the motor). not saying don't go buy it, buy it if you want it, i just prefer to know exactly whats going on my 40k+ investment and the reasons why it was designed the way it was. lms isn't a company i expect to go that deep into their product research.

I spoke to LMS about the info, and this is what I have gathered so far. The original prototype that some members may have heard already was the one using (2) 18'' resonators. LMS verified this and said it was to loud for them as well. The final version was made to include (2) 22'' resonators and is best described as sounding like the Blitz Nur Spec with CarsonTuned B-pipe. Sound clips are getting made as we speak and I will post those up as soon as they are available. If anyone has the blitz and b pipe sound clip of a gs, that will give yo a good idea of what it sounds like.
