Okay so the mods keep getting a little delayed. I was supposed to be in Colorado this week for work, but my move date got changed again Anyway everything should be done in the next or two. Still waiting for some stuff to come in. So today I will start you guys with this teaser. Its not much but the butt dyno likes it already.






Cold Start up

 

catback? hfc?

 

^ Its a X pipe on the stock exhaust.

Feel much of a difference in sound and/or power?

 

Just the xpipe for now. I'm leaning towards the ARK Catback, but I still havent heard one in person yet. Found that I had an exhaust leak in my y-pipe so I got them to weld in the xpipe. Our cars should have really come this way. Feels so much better to drive. Exhaust flow seems to now be equal out of both mufflers and there is a bunch more flow. Minor mod but nice benefit for the time being until I get my Catback.

 

Honestly sound wise you really cant tell much of a difference. You can hear more of a rumble in the low rpms. Sounds more like a coupe when you start up. Power wise my butt dyno say heck yeah. You can feel some more low end torque and it pulls so much better when you higher in the rpm band. I know its early but MPG wise I'm about 1mpg better with the xpipe.

 

ahh gotcha! NICE!

 

Thats a clean OEM looking weld, that X should get you some gains.

 

Yeah they did an awesome welding job! I can honestly feel the gains the more I've been driving it today. Its amazing the amount of air flow that comes out the exhaust now. I dont even have my HFC yet.

 

before n after soundclips?

 

Because it was spur of the moment I don't have the before, but Im working on getting a sound clip.

 

^ thanks!

 

No Problem. Should be able to today or tomorrow.

 

niice!

hurry up and get to colorado so we can add more G's to the community

 

Trust me Im working on it. Hoping I will have better info on the move this week. Can't wait to be in CO!! AFPC is dragging butt.

 

what brand x pipe is that? how much did the pipe and installation run you? looks good btw. i feel like trying this.
