Any particular reason to go to a full 3" pipe for a NA application? Any dyno info yet?

System looks great though!

I wonder why they chose to go with a single 3" over a dual 2.5" or even 2.25". Plus the additional turbulent air from the merging. Maybe the dyno testing will show the extra back pressure helps on N/A applications.

The overall flow is much less.
Dual 2.25" = ~31.79 sq in
Dual 2.5" = ~39.25 sq in
Single 3" = ~28.26 sq in

Maybe so you don't lose bottom end like I did on my Stillen v2. But then again I also have all the intake mods and test pipes haha.

I was just going to say, a huge bore and limitless flow might be great for turbo/FI motors, but it doesn't always work so well for N/A.

I was kinda wondering the other day if you guys with TT/SC setups might realise some substantial gains with a one off setup. Sorry to go off topic

Looks good, looking for more video/dyno runs.

Alternatively, maybe we can have a mini meet again when it is not so cold?

Yeah, that resonator on the mid-pipe looks too short. My magnaflow #10436 resonator is 22" in length and has very little drone in a short 300 rpm range. Otherwise the system looks good. It'd be nice if you could post some sound clips as well.

Leave me a number where I can reach you and we can go from there

The reason was we wanted to try something a bit different. Most of the other companies have dual 2.5" into a single cannister. We wanted to go with a 3" system to see if we could offer one system to the N/A and the FI guys..

Like I said in the earlier email, the dyno testing will be done on Monday afternoon

Thanks everyone for the comments! Once the dyno testing is done and the new pics are taken, it will all be uploaded asap! Thanks again.

Donavan

Like I said before, I don't see how this would be a good FI choice due to less flow capability than a dual 2.25 or 2.5 kit? I may be wrong but it seems like between the additional turbulence of merging the two and the lower total area it would not be a good choice for FI.

Time will tell.

While I might agree in part with the size thing, I don't agree with the merging turburlance thing. If merging is really that much of a problem, then wouldn't X and H pipes also pose a "merging" problem? As flow goes past each other there.

Also each manifold is a 3 into 1 merge collector. Even headers do this. If anything the merging would help scavanging, not hurt it.
