I would expect better class than that from a Super Moderator

Jim Technologies is Taiwanese not Chinese but I was trying to just give some advice/help. I've seen their exhaust stuff rebranded by other companies and it's just not that great. I think you missed the part where I said nice idea

Alright here is the dyno. Hope you enjoyed the video. Basically comparing to just the flash with stock cats, these pipes give a TON more torque on the low end. The mid range keeps a nice gain and the mid-top is about a consistant 5-10hp. However at redline it makes the same. You can tell by the video that it is definitely dumping to atmosphere when open. So I am throwing a guess that the lack of top end power might be that with the flash, we are already maximizing that RPM range. But it is a noticeable different in the other parts. Comments...

Finally got these babies jigged up here. So we should have them released soon on the site. Also I included a picture of us welding up a set of Ferrari 360 headers so you can see we really do build here

If so be careful with that stuff, they seem to want to manufacture stuff for everyone in the industry but the quality/fitment/design isn't the best;( Welds break and the materials are not up to snuff. I get those emails once a week! They tend to knock-off other people's parts and resell 'em etc...

Thanks for the heads up warning Sharky.
