Hey Ripp,
ANy chances your going to to headers, tune and SC for a 2012? If you could extrapolate the gains you are seeing on the 3.8 wat do you speculate the flywheel gains would be on a 2012 just headers and Tune and a 2012 with headers, tune, and SC?

This may help explain the Pentastar Exhaust manifold statement.

Ripp, any chance of having a sale in the future for July 4th, etc.

If you guys offered a black friday type sale with a 20-25% of code for 24 hrs. I bet you'd see these headers flying off the shelf! I know i'd order a set.

Wouldn't close to half of that power come from the cold air intake system that cost about $300 and exhaust that would also cost about $300? For a total of about $600 couldn't you get close to the amount of power the headers alone get you? Therefore making the exhaust and intake much better bang for your buck.

RIPP are you going to do anything for the 2012's? If so what kind of timeline are we looking at?

Default End User Review

Anyone out ther with this Long Tube setup? Would love to here a end-users review. Someone that has put on 20-30K with them. My curious questions are. Noise around town and at Highways speeds. Any annoying drones? Any slight increases in fuel efficiency? Noticable difference in power output? Pulling a trailer? Are you using stock cat back + muffler or aftermarket?

I am seriously looking at the the Long tube setup witht he resonator, expensive yes. I have put cheap setups on cars before and it nevers works out. They leak, they peal, they have annoying drones, and they break. I hope the R&D has worked out some of the Highway speed drones that most cheap systems seem to have.
