Brad O., I don't know - I partly suspect my exhaust guy just does not like making them. They are time consuming and a pain in the rear, I'm told. I can't imagine how equalizing the pressure between cylinder banks could cause a loss of torque. It makes no sense.

He did quite a bit of research before installing it and I'm sure if there was something as negative as a loss of 30 lb-ft he would've found out and said something. I'll pass along your message to him; he might be able to help you out. Is the loss of 30 lb-ft related to the reduced backpressure and increased cylinder scavenging?
