We weren't very far into the project when we removed the downpipe and noticed this! Since the car was already off the dyno and being taken apart we decided not to dyno the car again.

No, his goal is 425-450 whp.

The flex section collapsed, as many of the inner braided style flex sections do. This is the reason all of our downpipes have an innerlock design inside of them.

I still have not found the receipt yet. It was around a year ago when I got it.
I will keep looking, I do not want to say who it was until I have it in hand.
I have a couple car builds so I bought alot of parts from alot of vendors.

By the way how many miles did you have on the catted down pipe, what tune?

The down pipe doesn't have a cat.

We use interlock flexes, which are much more durable.
