here's the big deal about it - on a supercharged car, it won't blow the back off of the muffler, like would happen with the dynomax (the muffler rs barn uses).
also, on any car, it will fit better than either the rs barn or the b&b. i never liked the way either of those systems fit in the car. they should have had more bends in the tubing so that it tucked up better. i realize that it means they would have cost more, but they would have looked better.
as for power gains or losses, i am not planning on doing any dyno testing. i am only going by seat of the pants. my buttometer is pretty well calibrated though at this point (the benefit of so many dyno pulls). my comments on power are above in post #31, but to sum up:
the dbx exhibited the typical straight through muffler results with both resonators (small gains way up top - small loss in the middle). it was a little less gain and less loss when coupled with the previous magnaflow resonator, but it was obnoxiously loud and nasty sounding in that configuration. it sounded great with the hushpower 2
the super 50 had no losses when used with the previous magnaflow resonator, but may have peeled a couple of ponies off the very top when coupled with the hushpower 2. much better sound though.
note: do not try to do this with typical muffler shop press bending though. it really screws up everything.
p.s. - everything is 2.5"
also - i am not making this system, or selling any of the components, at least at this time. you can get this stuff yourself and have your local guy do it.
mcl - it's open until the 17th. see the thread about that.
