Measured gains aren't everything unless you're goal is just to make it a firebreather, and there's other ways to do that (TT, namely)
Also, if it sounds like sh*t, or sounds like a Civic with a fart-can...it won't sell to a number of people...yet, there are some that don't care. Myself, I don't want a RICE car, I want a good sounding performance exhaust.
It'll also depend on how loud they are - that's hard to judge by claim from the manufacturer - a consensus needs to be built. Thankfully there are a few people that will jump on it and take the first plunge.
They can report back on the difficulty of install, how much it cost them to have them install if they didn't DIY, maybe even write up a DIY article....and report back sound level changes, even post vids.
Anyhow...I know it wasn't a snub. For me, and I imagine most people, gains aren't the only thing that drives sales.
