I had a -2HP result, currently things are in the works with Takeda to find out what is going on. Hoping for some new information maybe in the next few weeks, stay tune.

They should have offered a refund, lol.

Well there are a few things going on, depending on how this next thing goes soon will determine what I push for. I am giving them some time to "work" on them and maybe find a solution.

What ideas do they have?

They have talked about working on some heat shields (like stock or maybe those R2C), they might re-do the tubes completely if that is the problem. I would love to just return them to Lou at Amplified for a full refund and by Injen, but he would end up with a used item that he probably could never sell. My hope is that Takeda stands up and buys them back at full price (I paid) so it does not put Lou in a bad spot.

They are taking Amplified's 370z and going to throw on the Takedas this week I believe to do the testing and make a decision on what to do.

Would love to hear how that goes.

hmmm...i would like to see the final decission on this as well...heat shields is what these things really need...i think the tubes are pretty fat actually so not sure how they could improve on them...
