The dyno printouts which will be shown later show a definite increase in power. (Dyno results will be shown at the completion of the June 2009 R&D Session) Make note that this test was done with the Medalion Touring exhaust, which is meant to provide a classy sound without attracting too much attention. Gains should be even greater with the race-inspired Concept G exhaust, however there were issues with fitment, and it'll have to be tested at a later date. Nevertheless, please be on the lookout for both of these exhaust systems, available to the public soon!
