Actually it is equal to but not better than Bassani per that dyno. The Bassani gains the same power under the curve, almost identical gains across power band but the peak gain is only 8HP. But the reason why Brullen claims 10 HP peak is clear if you look at the dyno..they quit the "pre" run at 6400 RPM (on an upward curve) and the post was run all the way to 7000. Peak power for my Bassani equiped car is at 6900 RPM. At 6400, the Brullen gain is about 8HP, same as Bassani. Despite being only 2.25" I suspect (but only suspect)that the reason Bassani works as well as a 2.5" is because of higher velocities...has a really nice Y-pipe. It actually was slightly better than 2.5" CTA and SCA catback dynos I've seen. For 3L though, I think 2.5" would be a must. Bassani is slightly cheaper than Brullen (and may be lighter with its tubing?)...

Just a comment, I think the Brullen is a nice system.
