You realize that the "2300 rpm boost" is just an artifact from the way the dyno run was conducted.

Otherwise, Vince has it right: "I think exhaust modification across all car marquees are relatively similar. The performance increase is minimal. It's really about the price, looks and the sound. If one really wants the exhaust to be part of a significant perf increase, then the intake, engine internal mod and ECU reprogramming should be part of the equation as well."

Dood, I just installed mine. Review to come this evening.

Don't need the E12. I used a 10mm. And the E10 (third bolt) is a 8mm. 6pt wrench will do.

After four weeks of trying, DTH is now saying the horse power loss with an exhaust tip insert is not minimal. The hp loss is such the end result is close to stock! That said, I would not wait for a single tip quieter solution.

If like me, you find the exhaust noise too loud, consider the 4smartcar dual tip DTH product. It is much quieter and delivers improved off-the-line performance.
