Message	peak power or power under the curve ... early on I was searching for peak power ... the last few years I have been looking for a broad power band as I am satisfied with the power level ... .. the random tech 3 inch test pipes with my 2.5 SZ cat back produced more power than a 2.5 inch test pipe and SZ 2.5 inch cat back .. proven by dyno rwhp .. I never had a B+B and the 2nd downpipe I had was custom made by SZ ( SS with 3 inch flange ) ... I eventually moved up to the 3inch Labree cat back ( SZ was not making them at the time ) and a 3 inch DP ..in all combinations - more peak power was produced .. however the torque curves were not as optimized as what I've seen in SZ's dyno charts ... Since then, I have had the Labree Ultimate downpipes and my current setup of the Abeler full 3 inch which has it's pros and cons ... I have always spoken from real world experience which is irrefuteable despite what comments you seem to grasp that I don't grasp. I was one of the first that spoke of / extensively used / dyno tested 1) .64 a/r housing in GT28RS 2) full 3 inch exhaust 3) inconel manifolds 4) water injection I kinda know what I'm talking about ... =============Sig begins here================ The Devils Z.com The Devils Z Pic 666 rwhp dyno The Demon Z pic (in progress) View Me!
