TPIS Long Tubes

I just ordered a set that will be here Wednesday, and was wondering if these are as good as they claim. They will be teamed up with a Borla XR-1 exhaust that will be here ~ the 25th.

Thanks

I don't know what has been claimed about the TPIS, but I have them and picked up about 15 rwhp..U will like them..
Naturally you will get varying opinions about the quality and tube size, but again, you can't go wrong with them...

They are great, you will love them. You should feel a sop difference and the sound I got with them alone is worth it.

I love mine, noticeable SOTP HP improvement--although I must admit that I had the entire exhaust put in at the same time, so I can't comment on their contribution by themselves. :cheers:

They are not that much louder than just Corsa Indys at all. Just deeper and meaner :D I haven't dynoed after the install yet so I don't know what the RWHP gain is. Hopefully it'll be somewhere between 15-20RWHP :cheers:

Re: TPIS Long Tubes (leanhtuan)

Just put mine on and figure they are worth about 10HP but they make the car sound quite nice. I better mod for the bucks is the HOTCHKIS sway bar setup. I've been driving on Z-51 bars for the last year and I can go substantially faster around bends with less drama with these bars.
