I've heard a lot of good things about these pipes, and they look really amazing. Personally I don't care a whole lot about how they affect the sound, but I'm curious about the power gains.

The skeptic in me is still having a hard time believing how it can produce gains over regular test pipes. Dyno tests seem to show improvement over the whole rpm range (in comparisons to regular test pipes). But if it uses resonance to produce gains, then my brain is telling me that any gains should be limited to a specific resonant frequency. I like understanding the technology behind stuff before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Any chance Motordyne can chime in on how exactly that is possible? Or is it a trade secret?

I'm also kinda torn because I want these, but I also want long tube headers. Are you guys planning on making headers with these built in?
