I agree, but that's not the reason that I'm buying one. Larini has a long established race history. If they are telling me I will see a noticeably increase in torque with a flat torque curve across the power band, I'm sold. The tuned sound is an added bonus in my opinion.

When you mentioned the "decats", you mean the non resonator center section? I am very excited to get this set up...

Impossible to know but I'd guess the GTE and SPORTS center section. I was told by Larini that the CLUB SPORTS center section is much louder since it eliminates the center resonator.

Bet that thing has a hideous drone at speed. Really difficult to built an exhaust that sounds good without any drone. My Helmholtz resonators got rid of most of it but it's still there.
This was mine before adding the resonators.
I have a bunch of pics in my build thread of making mine. Fun project.

I am still on the fence to either get the center section with the resonator or just straight pipe. I would think the straight pipe center section would yield more HP gains. That along with a Dyno tune. I will have to see since its a daily driver.

I would look into a better flowing set of cats. The factory //R muffler sounds good once some pressure pulses get to it. Being Cali might make that more difficult. I'm running a pair of stock 2010 5.0 Mustang cats in mine and they are an order of magnitude quieter versus the 200 cell cats I had on it.

I can't think of a nicer, personalized gift.
Looks like they do great prep work there Cambo. Wish our tracks in California were nice and shiny like that.
I have 200 cel cat, x pipe , stock back box. It was too loud so I added 2 cherry bomb resonators and now I think it's perfect this is with fuse 19 in place

Honestly our factory center section are not restrictive and they do work as an hpipe with gases free to travel to the other side. I tested restriction with a monometer and found very little restriction

Same here. There is no way I could launch as hard as that on our local track. I get a lot less wheel spin on a normal road.
