One question. Which charcoal liner is the dyno sheet referring to? Is the only thing that changed from run 1 to 2 the exhaust? Or did you also pull the airbox charcoal filters in addition to the exhaust swap?

If so, I'm wondering if those darn filters have a real effect on performance.

Thanks for the info. Love the Meister sound!

Yeah you can use a welding torch to remove them cleanly which I will do this week...

The charcoal filters are the airbox filters; thats is what they meant by the liner part. I had them removed after the first dyno so unfortunately I cant tell you what gains, if any, I got from them since they are mated with the exhaust install.

On my M5 I did the exhaust, then dyno, and then the filters so I guess I could go back and dyno it but again Id run into validation questions since its not the same day/conditionts etc.
