The TP vs. HFC provides minimal improvement on the street (~5hp) and in many cases is illegal for street use. Additionally, when running a TP the exhaust really is nasty (smell) and would be really bad if you do any stop and go traffic. Environmentally, a TP is not helping the environment (but few on evom seem to care). Finally, for most non-professional drivers 5hp will do little for street or track.

I will try to post dyno sheets shortly.

Maybe on an NA motor but, not on a turbo.

The power gains are good for TP however, I don't know if It's worth it. Car smells like crap and the rear needs to be washed on a daily basis.
