First of all, I feel like I should be the one thanking Johnny and the crew at RPM...What a top notch organization and shop these guys run...From the first phone call, to the minute I dropped my car off, I knew my car was in good hands...They had my car for a week and kept me informed with the progress, even updated me with pics, and I never worried about my cars fate...When the job was done, they delivered my car to my front door along with my stock parts...
Now on to the quality of their products and craftsmanship...When I got to their shop to drop off my car I meet Johnny and he gave me a tour of the shop, what a cool place...He also showed me the production long tube header for the Corolla/Scion xD...Man the they looked bad a$$ and quality appeared top notch...He showed me the midpipe for the Corolla and explained what he was hoping for the xD...Turned out that he needed to fab a whole new midpipe for the xD and started from scratch but the end product again turned out incredible...
My car sounds loud and mean...I can say I honestly gained probably atleast 10-12 HP with just the header/midpipe combo...All piping was changed to 2.25"...Total HP gains are probably over 15HP (maybe 18-20 Strup claims 7HP gain) with everything including Strup Axel-Back exhaust and my short ram intake...My butt dyno enjoys the new found power and I can definitely feel the instant power when I mash on the gas pedal...I can't imagine this car with a turbo

Johnny, you hear me?
Everyone, please support RPM...It's rare for us Scion xD folks to actually have someone step up and offer an actual product to increase performance...
Once again, thank you Johnny, Jim, and the crew at RPM...
Your friend,
Tim (YELOSUB)
