That is what FVD claims, which is a bit hard to believe having in mind the mods made, which includes new complete exhaust, cats, headers and ECU.
Has anyone try this kit here? Would like to hear first hand experience.

Product seem to be 5 start quality but 38hp more !!!! Have my doubts

They can say what they want at the crank, what counts is at the wheels. Their numbers aren't too far off as the .1's can squeeze max gains of around 8.5% and they are claiming just under 10% gains for a .2.

J.seven,

Thanks for your interest in our products. We are one of very few tuners left in the industry that believe in under promising and over delivering. We have been tuning now for 25 years and that system in particular is built by the a company that builds the current Cup S & RSR factory exhausts.

Peak HP like this is obtainable. However it is an overall gain from a low RPM to high RPM that really matters. I do not know where the gain is in the FVD system but hopefully someboday from FVD could explain where the gain of 38hp in this system is.

Excellent point, rep points for you.
I do believe FVD is a great firm, and that these gains are possible.
However, where are they- are they at 7,200 RPM's? If so, that's meaningless to me. Are they at 1,500 RPM's? Again, not too valuable. Now, if that gain is consistent from say 3,50000-7,000 RPM's that'd be fantastic! It's all about HP where you use it, and for me, I live in the midrange, so that's where I'd value it most.

I have this on my car and feel its accurate. I applaud Sayboy for his video and detailed write up but to add to that I feel the level of customer service and quality of FVD's parts make this setup such a great choice for the 997.2. I still impressed with mine and have had it on the car for months . Great power through the entire range with zero drone and crisp engine sound .

Combined with the Bilstein damptronics and champion pdk paddles the car completely transformed into a beautifully tuned 997.2S .

Are there any SC'd 997.2's yet? If you can get to 425hp NA, with FI it'd be sick. Add a LWFW to deliver more of that power to the wheels, whew, I want to see that!

Possibly because the stock 997.2S air box flows enough air to make way more power than factory stock.

nice sound for the track, but there is no way I would want to drive that car around town. LOUD! Cops would probably pull you over just to annoy you.
