It matters when he was told already he had a tune on it so he charged him for a retune price which he got with his cam install. And see how U feel when Your friend (ME) with the same freakin cam, can crank his car up and go while insom has to sit there and let it warm up and then even after that it dies at stop lights. And how would U feel paying for a cam install on your nice Z06 and have it leak oil all over your parking space at work and fling oil all over the undercarriage of your car while your driving?

Well if U've seen Kirk exhaust then you'd say yes it does. The less connection points you have and the less bends you have the more Hp you will gain. Just think about it like a Heart and blood vessels, if you have any blockage(welds) or smaller to larger then smaller again connections(transitions) it is gonna hinder flow. The less resistance your exhaust has to exit the better the gains will be.

The header collector is 3 inch then it necks down to 2.5 all the way out of the back of the car.
It dont neck down then get bigger.
BTW Kirk you dont have a Bassani X on your car. Its two bent pips welded together in the center.

Dynoes are used as TUNING aids....Drag racing shows results by trap speeds and ET's..>Who gives a **** about dyno sheets.

Well I guess buying a Manderal Bent exhaust with only 2 connection points is a big waste of money, **** next time I will go to Pep Boys have them weld 30 Pieces of exhaust together with lots of crimps in it and transtions from having to piece the pipes together, Damn Borla was a waste of money??? To bad I spent all the money on my GTX for a Manderal bent exhaust system, how stupid of me, should have let some slap jaw yockle just go crazy with his welder Oh yea Lewisville muffler told Kirk it was a Bassani X pipe.

Here is a Quote from a Sponsor about there exhausts
Question: Why is MagnaFlow the best exhaust system?
Answer: Nothing performs better, looks better, or sounds better than MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust. Our Research and Development Team invests many hours to ensure our products stay competitive and perform the way they should.
Our systems feature straight-through flow designs for the ultimate in unrestricted horsepower and torque for big power while maintaining exhaust efficiency.
The internal MagnaFlow muffler is designed of stainless steel perforated core, stainless steel wool, and an acoustical absorbent material -- superior to fiberglass (which many other manufacturers use). No baffles, chambers, or louvers. No restrictions at all, just straight-through, wide-open performance with a smooth, deep tone, and each MagnaFlow stainless muffler has a highly polished mirror finish for a show car look.
Our systems give a 20% reduction in bends over your O.E.M. system to provide the power you demand.

Crimps yeah they will kill power, but talking about duals with several pieces still will make more power than your catback setup.
Oh and there is such thing as a partial tune nick. Lots of people do it. They do more than just basic code bullshit, but dont get indepth on fuel here or timing, etc all over the place. You can tune a car to make say 400rwhp within an hour or so (example here... not geared towards any tuner whatsoever) but you could fine tune for several more hours to get more power throughout the rpm range, etc etc etc.

I wasnt talking about Lanes TD, I am trying to show how Kirk's exhaust may be one of the factors hindering his cars performance. TD work great in our cars cause there is less exhaust and have a good flowing muffler. Less bends, less connections equal more power. Kirk's exhaust has a ton of welds with a dramatic reducing from the headers do to the fact that his collectors where cut-off to make room to install the X-pipe.
