If the loss is 4% to 5% reasonably for the atmospheric changes, then we all should be right on the money for gains. 276whp with 4.5% added in would be about 288-289whp which makes sense for a full exhaust or Gen 3 install up from baseline of 276-277whp.

I'm not going to dyno again though until its a reasonable 80ish degrees, now that I got rid of that crap OEM muffler. It feels like the same gains I got with the X-Pipe added in again with straight through Magnaflows added and the rear muffler gone. Hoping for 285-290whp, it definately is fast now.
Why not wait for September and nice cool temps? I agree on your numbers, when I installed my Berk CBE I went from 278WHP to 294WHP under similar temps (low 60's) and low humidity. I then installed Gen3s and showed "no gain" at 95F and high humidity. Something tells me when I do another pull come September, I'll be over 300WHP.
