Works seems pretty sketchy to me not even taking into account the filter. They conveniently leave out one very important fact about their exhaust in the description. The fact it's aluminized steel. Counting down until a thread pops up of someone complaining about rust problems with their works exhaust.

Even if it makes 5hp that will work for me.
I think you've overlooked the point. They're charging double the price for the same product, because they claim is makes double the power increase.

So it doesn't really 'work for me,' or any other average-witted consumer, to spend twice the money unless the claim is valid. This is commonly known as ripping people off, and whether its a drop in filter or a turbo kit, I'm not cool with it.

Pretty sure my dyno results speak for themselves. The Works filter completely eliminated the torque dip and provided 22 whp with 14 ft lbs of TQ. I now have one on my lawnmower.

Thats the reason of purchase. Works filters are pretty good in the EVO world. Curiousity had me do the purchase, well see in a few weeks when Im on the dyno.

STOCK Filter with Overpipe, and front pipe
STOCK reflash with Works Filter, OP, FP
Then the Tune with everything.

There hasn't been anything to prove or deny the claims. So lets continue to cry and complain about the same thing over and over and over and over and over again until we get some independent dyno results. Geez people.

Since youre really into this, why dont you buy the exhaust and do all the critique you want?

Ill maybe thrown in a free filter for you just to resolve the tension between us
If you wanna give away free filters with the exhaust im down

Here is a Dyno lamp that may shed some light on the situation.
