I have tested this on my dyno, and have posted the charts in the past if you do a search in the archives.

Dont get me wrong, I still run a 3" exhaust
its no secret the power comes from the test pipe section, and actually 5whp is pretty decent for the rear out no cat to cat to be quite honest with you. I guarantee you could actually feel that difference, not to mention the weight loss you get for finishing the rear.
The pressure makes a difference in higher boost levels also, that is the big differnce. What boost level did you use on your dyno runs? 15+ many people run 18 on the 300whp package and you start seeing the bigger difference.
Either way your still doing an exhaust mod and I think that is the first best upgrade on a tubo car hands down

I looked and Lindseys site.
I would recommend to save the extra money for the 300whp kit. You get the boost controller and the wastegate. Forget messing with the shims and the enhancer. You can downgrade to a 3" exhaust from there and save some money.
The Borla XR-1 is an option on the exhausts

Yea +1
It will save you the hassle of doing it again when you decide you want more power. Spend the extra money now, you will not be disappointed.

Do you have any dyno sheet to prove the enormous gains of the LR 300rwhp kit?

Nope.
With my 26-6 i would think its more the area of 260 - 270 at the wheel, which is still a huge improvement.
