Cayenne v6 Cat-Bypass HP Claims
I've searched the forums and read tons of posts on the Fabspeed v6 2008+ cat bypass pipes, but nobody indicates if there was a true HP increase or throttle response. 
Has anyone actually installed these and had better throttle response or power? Before I shell out the money for them I'd like to know if the +10HP is valid. And to clarify, this is for the 3.6L , not 3.2L.

+10HP is BS. It might be 10HP to the crank, but by the time it gets to the wheels, well, on a 5500lb vehicle, it's negligible.
I do think you can get a little better throttle response, but the only real gain is the improved sound.
FWIW I don't recommend Fabspeed products, they are not the best, and they don't come with factory hangers. I don't care what those geniuses at FS tell you, it's not a good idea to leave such a long length of exhaust un-supported. The factory put the hangers there for a reason, be safe and buy a set with hangers.
Oh, and yes I did buy a set from FS for my 2006 V6. They buzzed and rattled like crazy under hard acceleration (one more reason to have hangers).

Sucks that you were a guinea pig man, sorry to hear that. I'll look at other options but the NA engine doesn't leave much room for gained HP.
Thanks for the insight!
