Because the inspection station should have a list of exactly what emissions controls the specific car they are inspecting should have on it when they enter the make/model/year into their computer.

How else could they possibly do the inspection, given the differing array of emissions hardware cars have had on them in the last couple decades.

Well, it's still illegal in FL, you just have no real way of being caught...

It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me to mess with the cats for 1-2 hp though... on my previous car, which made a lot more power than anything discussed in this thread, removing the cats was a bit more of a gain so it was worth the trouble (plus that car was loud as hell anyway so making it slightly louder wasn't an issue)

The answer to your question:

It's actually 16rwhp gain not 21rwhp.. I have NO idea where I got 21 from.

Anyways, sorry about that..

And then I corrected myself AGAIN

There was a PEAK on the dyno of 286. That was where I got the 21 from. The dyno SHOWS an increase of 16, however we saw a high of 21.

SAE, smoothing 5? Spikes don't count and only serve to confuse. Still 16 is a solid 5+% gain - nothing to sneeze at IMHO.

Guys I'm going to post this and ask one more time to keep the discussion in this thread on the product and not on our forum rules and links to the vendor, etc. If you have questions about our rules or this request, use the private message feature to contact a moderator or me.

The issue is a bit more complex than just not asking about the price, it's an issue with pre-order offers / group buy discussions that have taken place throughout this thread (those posts have been removed). We're trying to avoid getting this important product discussion thread closed by keeping any pricing conversation out of it.

A secondary issue is that there are some CL members PPE has sponsored who are incintivized to promote them & their products. That also has caused some ongoing concern with their participation.

We very much hope this product works out and brings the gains that have been shown in the first set! We look forward to PPE signing up to be a CL vendor and offering their products here or through an existing CL vendor.

Only through the support of those vendors do we keep Club Lexus up and running free of charge to you and our other 115,000 members.
