It's been 1.5 days since we've had a poll or question about a metal tube.

Thanks,

Let's stay on topic please ...

Actually, $85 is a little high for 3 pulls. Wheel weight will have some effect on the numbers, but it would be silly to try to manipulate the results by changing wheels. BTW, what are you wanting the dyno results for? Unless you have a solid baseline before the afe was installed, these results won't tell you anything.

Unless there is something really out of the ordinary, the dyno results will show that it is making anywhere from 255-270 rwhp. However, the same car could easily make 255 at one shop on a Tuesday, and 270 at a different shop on Wednesday. Basically, dyno results by themselves are pretty meaningless.

So we're changing the topic again?

I don't think the guy in Saudi Arabia with the IS300 has the headers yet. I think he said that he just ordered them.

BTW, the baseline dyno was done at the same shop, right?

That's the guy, but I don't know anything more than what he said in one of the other exhaust threads.

I am the guy that voted no on this thread. Do you not realize this thread was a joke to begin with?

also, have you ever noticed that no matter what thread you post to it's never on topic? I agree with you, you have major ADD.

cheers.
