take a chill pill deviousXA. you should be thanking these guys for having the ***** to post dyno charts. this is a great thing and allows us to see where in the power band there are gains.
not once have i seen ANY other company making parts for NA scions have the guts to post dyno numbers. yet they are all quick to say, "our product gives you an XXXHP gain". without charts, you never know where that gain is, and unfortunately it usually ends up being at the very top of the rpm band, which, to me, is pretty much useless.

ok is it just me or didnt i thank them for the R&D of parts and whatnot.....you know i think i did.... so aychse7en you need not make any comments to me along those lines also ONCE AGAIN i didnt say ANYTHING about the validity of the dyno plots that they post as stated BEFOREHAND or the productsi misunderstood the relationship of MMW and WR that WAS MY mistake BUT anything else was purely my opinion/view....people ARE allowed to voice the opinion they have and if when i exercise that right you dont like it....move on.....ive given them the credit they are rightfully due or maybe you hadnt read the last few post i made...the whold thing was mostly a difference in opinion plain and simple no flamming or anything of the sort so i think someone other than me should chill....and i dont think a difference in opinion makes someone a moron either conforming doesnt make one "smart/cool/in/ect." if at any time i am proven wrong i will be the first to admit it im not some arrogant person trying to save face.....i work on cars and tune them for my love of automobiles anything i could learn from ANYONE i am eager to take in

Tough crowd, Ray...

Results look solid, I like the wideband increase in torque in the mid RPMs, and the header itself looks very nicely put together.

Hear hear... enough with the kneejerk naysayers already. They had an OEM baseline and a competing product for comparison, THAT'S what they were trying to show here people.
When I get to intake/header/exhaust this one's at the top of my list

Results look good. I just hope the price can come down a bit before its fully released. If not, just have to save up a bit more cause this looks to be the one I will go with. I like the mid range power it gives.

TRD should not advertise its parts as TRD becuase they are really Toyota and there is no such thing as Scion.Scion isToyota. And there's no such thing as Lexus. they are toyota too. But wait. How can Lexus and Scion be Toyota? And what about Acura? No such thing. they're really Honda.

interesting post in this topic.....but yes all these companys have different names....basically different levels of price/quality/status yada yada it just so a company can have competition in different classes.....how would you feel about buyin a Lexus LX430 if it was purely a toyota land cruiser.....would you still pay what it cost?...HELL NO haha...not saying it would have every creature comfort and probably smokes a regular landcruiser but still its the name people want status same with acura.....the new honda civic si is coming out and it seems to be pretty sweet just under the rsx type-s....i know so many honda heads it isnt even funny and the most of them would still opt for the type-s why you ask?.....its a acura its more classy and yet sporty....its the PIMP label of the rice world....i guess thats why ive stayed away from the H and the A as much as possible i drive down the street and see a friggin fleet of these horrible sounding cars reving the guts out of the engine cuz its a acura or its a honda! EFF YOU ALL! haha.... Scion BI@TCHS!

PS sorry about ranting on
