I wouldn't call it useless. The comparison pictures and detailed shots are helpful to many. Just that a lot people are on pins and needles to see dyno numbers and are willing to pick anyone apart who's not posting them. Until trusted, non-biased sources post data, its going to be like that. Keep up the good work. While I might not always agree with everything you do/say in your video, your love for the build shows in your work.

Stick to what you are doing (following your passion) and let the haters hate. Meanwhile, thank's for the video.
Ordered one Sept 13th. Tracking shows it'll be here tomorrow. maybe we'll get to the dyno this week.

Side note, I don't want anyone to agree with everything I do and say. There are some people that treat my videos as scripture and it legitimately bothers me. I intend for them to be a research tool, to be used supplementally with searching forums and talking to others with real world experience. Hell I never listen to what just one person has to say about a certain part no matter how much experience they have with it or how smart they seem.

No problems. I am just glad I am not getting eaten alive for mentioning that I have already modded mine without putting it on the dyno. Which I have no plans to do. I will spend the next 2 or 3 months street tuning the Hydra for the Skunk IM. I check my results by how consistent the 0-60 times are.

Try not to take it too personally. The more public you are, the more you get shot at. That's the reality of social media. And this particular forum eats their young.

ANY information on a new product is useful and the more the better IMO - I like reading the responses, some are actually thought-provoking.
At the end of the day, back-to-back testing against the Flat-top/Squaretop is what many here want to see but given the scarcity of the Flat-top/Squaretop, if it's better than OEM then it's worth the upgrade.

I'm waiting for results too, I wish my car was running already so I could at least be a part of the testing fun. It's pretty surprising to me that people have had their hands on these manifolds for 4+ weeks and there hasn't been a single Squaretop vs Skunk back-to-back test yet. Which is exactly why I'm holding on to my Squaretop, just in case.
