Well as I've mentioned, its not that big of a deal.
The main thing is that this is designed as a
retrofit to an existing engine design rather than being a whole new engine. It is much easier and less expensive to make changes like this (cams + exhaust + intake) than it is to design a new HEAD. VVT would blow the socks off of this, but would definitely be a much more expensive change to make since it would require a whole new head casting and cams/valves/etc. design. All this required in terms of the head/valves/etc. was a change in the cam profiles, and that is a simple matter of reprogramming the machine that grinds the cams with the new profile specs.

Wouldn't expect it to... the restriction has to be at the right place and the right amount in order for it to reflect the pressure waves properly. Remember that the exhaust system was designed by a room full of japanese engineers with pocket protectors -- wasn't just a matter of blocking it off.
Sad thing of it is, SEVERAL different rooms of japanese engineers figured out how to make more low/mid-torque/horsepower and retain peak hp with overrun capability not using a heavy, expensive, servo, which will sooner or later require some sort of maintenence.
