Their numbers look reasonable, especially looking at how good that header looks.
So...you can look at a header and tell that it will produce better HP because it looks good?

I've seen hand formed exhausts with semi decent welds that put out better numbers for HP and torque gains. Looked ugly as hell but worked better than what the aftermarket offered. I dont doubt Lachute or Vivid for that matter, what i doubt are all the armchair professionals throwing baseless claims around.

If you are gonna hold one company's feet to the fire and demand the most exhaustive (lol puns are fun!) proof of power dyno marathon in order to believe the numbers, then you better hold every manufacturer to the same standard.

Also get off your high horse, those claims were wrong, they admitted they were wrong, they went through every hoop imaginable and posted true numbers, stop living in the past.
