To his credit, I’m sure he got a lot of clicks on his channel with the inflammatory video title, regardless of how poorly executed the actual video turned out. That’s all it’s really about, right...

That’s YouTube for ya

That’s also why there is a comment section. If you guys are not happy about the video or want to call Luke out for producing click bait, then do so in the comment section. A lot of people (context producers and content viewers read the comments).

You just described 90% of all these new Automotive YouTubers!!!!!

Unfortunately we can't learn anything from those numbers.

Ive commented and just simply urged a few to watch the video again and listen to what the dyno operator and Luke have to say.

The key comments are 380hp for a stock 718 GT4 on the same dyno that Luke’s car achieved 395hp on (in the video) .. They even say Luke’s car would have made less without the exhaust installed on there

It seems many look at the title and then close their ears once the video begins.

Many of us probably picked up on that dialogue, I think this is more just a matter of the primary focus being the concern from owners or prospectives trying to figure out if this is whp or adjusted to crank hp. Unless I missed closure on that I believe that is still a mystery.

JCR-Porsche

Absolutely, as I mentioned earlier in this thread I think anyone seriously considering our system will be able to see through it and decipher the results.

There will be many independent dyno results out there soon enough, in fact I believe next week one of our customers is dyno testing his new 718 Spyder before and after installing his Titanium Silenced Valved Race Pipe (same part as Luke has installed)

I’ll grab the results and share in the forum and this thread also

Who cares about HP (gains)? I'd take a HP loss for a better sounding exhaust. Anything more than 300 HP is useless for back-roads and irrelevant for the track unless your lap-times paid your rent.

GrantG

So, you’d gladly submit your 996 GT3 to have 85 hp removed?

Says the racer who posted his wrecking racing driving skills asking for positive concurrence while getting his 13/13 at the same time. IIRC nothing was ever mentioned about paying for the damage caused other than "rubbing is racing".

Oh oh hot dog!

No. Just wouldn't go out of my way to add it if it wasn't there already. I can remove 85 HP with my right foot any time.

GrantG

Of course you can - that's why it's silly to put a ceiling on NA power. There are many times when it's useful/fun/exciting to let your foot deliver more than 300hp (on the street and on the track) and other times where you don't need that much. Having a choice is good...

My car has 500hp. Would I be just as happy with 300? No. Would I be happier with 600? Probably...
