If so, what are your thoughts on it? Any if you were running a Testpipe previously? Are you using the PES or APR kit with it? TIA<ul><li><a href="http://www.tantrumwerks.com/html/18shotgunphotos.html">http://www.tantrumwerks.com/html/18shotgunphotos.html</a</li></ul>

Default if there is a difference, it's subtle

maybe it is more pronounced when under low load at higher RPM's and hitting the gas. Maybe the spoolup is quicker then. Since adding the electronic boost controller and the test pipe, if I get on the gas before 3500 RPM, I am still hitting full boost by 3500 RPM. Maybe the APR high flow cat is really good. The top end feels a bit better, but it's tough to say. By the time I dyno again, I might have more on the car than just that test pipe, so it won't really be a good power indicator.

Default hard to say

I haven't seen dynos like on the S4. THe S4 dynos definitely seem to show a nocticable power gain over other DPs, and of course over stock. I'm not so sure the potential is there over the APR high flow cat. Maybe I'm wrong and have a terrible but dyno. Also, my car never seems to run 100%. It's not terrible, but I don't seem to make the timing, especially in the top end as other cars seem to. So I'm thinking it's hard to judge a part that improves top end power because of this. Hopefully my oil catch can and FMIC will help with they go in.
