You have to understand where Trevor is coming from. The engineers constructed the exhaust in such a way to have the SVX perform in a certain way. It is not for pure all out performance but rather it balances compromises like loud noises, emissions, etc. In this respect, the stock exhaust is a really good fit for the SVX. I wouldn't disagree with that.

As for performance, the testing method to see how the exhaust outperforms the stock exhaust needs to be scientifically tested. This has not been proven yet. Of course in no way does this mean that exhaust X is not making more horsepower in a certain rpm or throughout the rpm powerband than a stock one. If it does though, it may compromise the car in some other respect that the engineers did not intend. I belive this is were Trev is coming from but I could be wrong.

I still like the sound of it though.
