My talk with Allen from Innotech claims that Agency Power is no longer a distributor of Innotech products. According to Allen, they were making replicas. I dunno if it's true if anyone wants to dig a little deeper on the matter. Currently there are no American distributors in the states for Innotech.

Innotech has asked me to not post the dyno sheet on the forums. But nothing about the numbers :P The numbers look high so I assume it's for the full setup but still looks kind of high.

From rough calculation of how much gained by looking at the graph here are the numbers. Sorry I do not know the conversions of it.

HP: 63kW
TQ: 118Nm

Final numbers:

HP: 311.6kW
TQ: 752.8Nm

vividracing/agency power has repeatedly claimed that their Agency Power C63 header and exhaust products are proprietary items designed in-house.

Many here on MBW have wondered how that can be, when they appear unequivocally identical to the Cargraphic, Innotech, and IPE systems allegedly manufactured by Jim in Taiwan. Regardless of what's been claimed, the evidence seems to suggest these are all identical systems (including Agency Power) sourced out of the same Taiwanese build house.

From another thread on this topic...

In the Agency Power header/exhaust thread, post #87 (presumably made by Phil) claims to be making a set of headers, available later that week. Not sourcing, or procuring, or packaging... but making. A clear distinction.

That said, I've yet to see any of the in-production pictures mentioned later in the thread...

Quote off Agency Power website

A large part of what Agency Power produces is with performance exhaust components. Agency Power does not buy off the shelf Chinese exhaust systems like other brands. Agency Power actually prototypes the exhausts here in Arizona using our own or customer vehicles. We then test them on our Mustang AWD Dyno and make changes to achieve the best sound and performance we can get. Our exhaust prototypes are then shipped overseas to be made in large quantity. The reason for this is because of the quality, finish, and cost to produce the item overseas is far better then here in the USA. The stainless steel TIG welding is all robotic and all our exhaust systems feature completely polished piping. We have even introduced titanium mufflers and tips to certain vehicles. The Agency Power exhaust line is the only product that is not manufactured in the USA. We have included images below.

Hey guys,

I got an e-mail from Alan a few days ago. I posted some wrong information partly due to language barrier and noise background (on my end).

I will correct the information with this post.

They have no relations with Agency Power in the past, and present. They just by chance to have made similar exhaust systems. Which means that IPE's exhaust system is not a replica and also possibly Ageny Power's as well.
Although the systems are very similar, he claims the performance on IPE's exhaust is better.

If you all are interested in the e-mail please PM me.

In another e-mail Alan would be interested in selling 10 sets for a group buy offer. If there are enough people interested I'll try to start it. Enjoy.

Excellent video. High quality advertising at it's best. It sounds good, angry and mean though a bit more high pitched.

I still prefer the std AMG setup which is the most impressive of any stock setup I had heard up to this point in a car. Heavenly! :-)
