3 runs stock and then 3 to 4 runs with the RPI exhaust. Yea at the low rpms it has that nice low rumble. I love it.

Now, how would a tune affect the graph? Would a tune bring the torque and hp up, stretch it out, lower it, what and how??? This is the question.

i dont like the fact you lose so much torque off the line. but if its the sound you like, then go for it.
We see this from run to run because of the auto transmission and the tq converter. Its because of this we have to run the cars over 20 times to get it consistent in the baseline. You shouldnt have any problems in the low end.

I designed the muffler to be free flow but because of the temp drop of the exhaust gas in mid car, we changed the diameter of the tubing to bring the velocity back up. We're one of the few companies to make a muffler designed for each application to do exactly what you talked about in your previous posts. Good observation!

What exactly did you change, the rear muffler only, or the full system starting from catalysators (or maybe even the cats)?

of course the computer, on the car. hello, have you not seen the posts regarding SINGH, PES, ESS, etc tunes? come on, if you're not into at least the possibility of tuning the car then why are you looking in the Parts, Accessories and MODS section to begin with?

OK, I'll continue my own search. Sorry if I disturbed you turbowad.
