I believe the marketing name they're calling it is the "Power Pipe". The 
notion that it flows 50% better is rediculously high. Maybe 5% better. The 
idea is, it takes the turns out of the pipe, which is better airflow. 

Todd Cameron gave me a piece of 3"PCV pipe and a 45deg bend and he said it 
cost him all of $5.00 and it comes in any color you want! (paint it yourself) 
I dont feel it gives any low end performance but the top end has got to 
benefit from its being in place. I happen to like the way it looks over the 
stock "S" pipe. 
My overall opinion:    "eh"
