Please do tell !!!
can you even use Xforce and the word BEST in the same sentence ??? ... maybe Xforce and realy cheap you can do
"Best" is something that can only be claimed if you've tested every other option. That's rarely the case, hence when someone says "best", they generally mean it "works" but feel that is not enough and so make exaggerated claims. The XForce might "work", so unless you've got data to suggest it doesn't, think you should stick to calling it "cheap".
Cheap is a good thing if you are talking about price, but not if you are talking about quality.
I remember when split dump pipes were first developed in this country by Trevor Campbell as my MY94 WRX was one of the first. People tried to copy the original and got certain details wrong. There was a LOT of R&D went into those things that the copiers didn't know about. They then claimed the design principal was crap, despite it simply being a case that their own implementation was deficient.
Of course we've got lots of data to show the PhatGT dump pipes work very well. Doesn't mean they are the "best", just that they "work".
