Broken09 got 436@15lbs on a 3" exhaust. he then got 448@15lbs on the 4" Keep in mind he also changed from the 35R T4 to the 500R. At 15lbs I don't see the exhaust being a hp restrictor as much as helping with the response. You may get some gain but it will better serve getting you into boost sooner. Broken09 is also running the 1.06 housing. I hate giving out hp@x numbers because every car is put together different. I have had people put out way better numbers than we have on some of our stuff and I have had people put out worse numbers than us with our stuff. It's not just a slap on this kit and go kinda thing there is a lot more to it.

You're right, I didn't see that. Good eye 
.
Update, the blitz fmic is installed, it was a dream to put in. They provide every bracket under the sun, there are like 15 of them. Of course, I don't have a/c, an ast, p/s, a stock rad, or a battery in the engine bay so I only ended up using 5 of the brackets. The most time consuming part was cutting my stock sway bar mounts so that I could use their brackets. Now that it's in, there isn't a lot of room between the compressor and the radiator inlet/upper hose, so finding a spot for the filter to get cold air will be interesting. I'll post pics up tonight or tomorrow

I definitely like the Blitz for install. I made a few IC's here that were similar for that exact reason.
It also leaves good room for duct work to get to the radiator.

Over the winter I plan to remove the front bumper, send my oil coolers off to be refurbished, install my Rotary Extreme fiberglass oil cooler ducts, relocate/upgrade my horns, and install a nice low-key black mesh grill for my ic/rad and oil cooler openings.

Has anyone considered a diesel engine muffler if the 4" system is too loud?
Rich that looks Clean. I mean like Virgin on prom night clean. Makes you want to tear it up.
Rice...Can you post pics of your system. I have a poor imagination right now.

I'm running the GZ LIM which has equal length runners, so I wasn't too concerned about having egt probes to monitor each rotor. Based on the research I've done, one probe in the dp should be fine for my application.

Just about everyone I've talked to recommend placing the probe in the manifold. Is there a difference with your set up?
What are you and Ihor doing this weekend? Let me know, I would like to come and take a look at the car. Later..
