Wow, finally. I read where Al was having some trouble with the data. Come on Dean, you can leak some info...I won't tell anybody. ;)
 
Wow, Awesome job guys! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Well, what do all you guys think? Is there a way to hear these pipes as you tested them? If a guy wants the most torque and hp for the money maybe Keda is the way to go? Lets hear your thoughts.
 
Hey d adams, thanks for the link. In your opinion, which exhaust had the deepest or lowest tone? I heard an after market exhaust on an XB at a dealer and if you had your eyes closed you would swear it was a big block v8 you were standing next to. Did any of the exhausts tested give you that kind of feeling?
 
I haven't listened to the audio clips from the report yet, but what I've heard in person, mine and the drummer are pretty close to the same sound at idle, above 5k rpm, mine are a litte louder and deeper toned. Standing next to mine, up to 5 feet away, you can feel it shaking stuff. 10 feet away, it's just a good rumble. Didn't hear the CES in person, so I can't comment on it. Jardine/FMF/HMF, etc. are pretty much all the same, loud/sharp sounding to me.

Either way, all the aftermarket pipes are pretty loud.
 
What octane fuel was used for the tests using the "race" tune? Was it done with standard 93 octane, or was it actually done with 100+ octane fuel? If so, wouldn't it have made more sense to do the test with a tune for pump gas, as that is what 90% of the people here will use. I only ask because EBR lists their ECM's for pump and race gas, with their being an obvious differentiation between the two.
