R&D is for getting the right look and fit for ease of installment and for getting the right tone they want. Also testing with different resontaors and mufflers to get the desired results so to answer your eye rolling question yes it can take more than two iterations to get it the way they want. You will see alot of companies come out now that look like all the ones that came out first. Its easy to copy someone elses work. The ones that make the most gains have little bends and use straight thru mufflers with no bends but this will cause some drone.

But if its so easy build one yourself and market it for sale.
I've welded together a horrible 3" mild steel exhaust with a random Magnaflow muffler that made almost 50 WHP on my turbo project car. It's really not that hard to fabricate an exhaust that makes good power.

This OBX exhaust will probably produce some decent gains, even though there are many bends and the exhaust is quite lengthy.

Most importantly to me, and other people who aren't concerned about a figure of +/- 5 whp, is it will probably sound good.
