Yeah i see those words written on automotive message boards all the time.
What i have never seen is a dyno sheet or any other
actual evidence proving them. Ever. Just words and theories.
Just dozens of dyno sheets showing net increases in torque and horsepower across the board from idle all the way up, from increases in exhaust diameter.
