You're probably "hearing" the car pull harder. The cool sound of the Pflow makes you "think"....
there's an increase in performance. At least that's been my (and most people on this forum) experience. The butt dyno is a very tricky thing and other factors have a tendancy to affect results...sound happens to be one.
Another instance of this are loud exhaust pipes...sure makes you feel like you're going faster. Sometimes you are...and sometimes you aren't.

I have a stock exhaust, APR Chip, DVR and P-Flow. All in all I would
say that on cool days the p-flow works good and on hot summer days or humid ones, it aint doing ****..just sounds good.. Thanks guys.

Heat is your enemy........>>
The other day (about 85 degrees) Axe and I were shooting an IR thermometer around his engine compartment. After opening the hood and spilling heat, we still recorded temps of 120-140 and over 300 if you shoot it down by the turbo...
Every 10 degrees = 1% in lost power. Do the math...
