No, he didn't. I know he wanted to but after 1.5hrs I HAD to get off the phone and get back to work.
He's an incredibly nice guy and will talk your ear off about the system. We talked about the catback design, pipe material, welding/smoothing process, cats, mufflers, H-pipe, etc, etc, etc. He finally worked up to the headers but I had to get off the phone.

ok spoke to lou belanger. a real nice guy and more than willing to talk to me.
KEEP THE PICKLE is the answer !!!
on a dyno, it might not show but on a track it will for sure is the bottom line. something about more velocity rather than volume. its a venturi design and no matter how much air we throw at it, its gonna flow better WITH the pickle regardless of RWHP. actually the more rwhp its gonna be slightly better flowing.
the air creates a negative pressure and pulls the air out of the header instead of air backing up.
thats why maclaren used it on the asc viper.
RPM's would matter more in this than RWHP he said. but our engines are only turning 6000rpm's as it is, so no difference will be seen.

Ok, coming from someone that sells the pickle that sounds good. But what about the other point of view from someone that doesn't sell a pickle?
