Been driving it for a couple days now since I installed them, haven't done any WOT runs or anything but down low it sure does seem to go better and spoolup is definitely increased on the mileage tune which was already pretty good. I'm very pleased with the results so far, to me it seems like the gains are tripled or more over adding just the up pipes, that is all judged by what it "Feels" like though.
Also, even at part throttle I went down in drive pressure. Before at 40psi boost 1/2-3/4 throttle or so I was seeing 46psi drive pressure, now its down to ~43-44psi or so at the same boost pressure. My previous setup was ProFab up pipes combined with a BD manifold.
The 4" downpipe that I made off the S400 barely fit in there with the flange on the manifold to up pipe where it is located now, it is a mm or so from touching trying to keep it away from hitting the frame, I lucked out on that one for sure.
IMO these would work very good for anyone looking for better results towing as the gains down low seem to be greatly improved. I'd imagine that MPG would be improved as well but don't have any results to say for sure. I went with the larger 2" up pipes but there is also an option for smaller 1 7/8" tubing.
I know a few vendors on here sell them. Rick was very helpful and even answered questions after hours helping me with the install.
