after many sleepless nights wondering if i should, or shouldnt, and infinite analysys of the yes's and no's.

i jacked it up and took off the catback and threw in some straight pipes all the way back. single 2.5" all the way to a 10" resonator and 90degree turndown.

what everyone whats to know: how fuct is it?
answer: not one bit. lost maybe 10-15lbs torque on the low end, but i can feel every bit i gain in the top end and god damn is it nice to pull from 5500-10k

about 112 decibles unkorked and 100 or so with the pipes going back

 

You got Zero gains and everyone hates you.

 

went from 10/10 best car ever to dream car will keep for life so hate all you want, but it sounds damn good and feels great

Sleepless nights of analysis and this is where you landed?

 

So, you are loud, obnoxious, stinky, and slower than your average Corolla. Congratulations?

 

Especially his eardrums. You will definitely pay for that later in life, i.e. "Huh, what did you say?"

 

why dont you pop those catbacks off and enjoy life a little. and lets do a pull and see just how slow i am.

 

shots fired.

haha well it's nice if u car park it outside, try parking it in ur garage and heating it up.

the smell will get stuck in ur hair, that burnt gasoline smell

 

Why don't you do a pull and let us know? Don't forget to shove the USB plug in the butt dyno first.

 

 

I needed a laugh this morning.

You're on the losing end here man, best you go on your way.

 

A single straight pipe is actually loud as **** (and sounds like it too!)

I'm willing to bet that you're still slower than a Prius, and a stock 8, and my 8, and especially 9k's slow 8. Also there's no way you're getting anywhere near 10k RPM in a completely stock car.

 

op, dont listen to this guy. he doesnt even sell bright yellow ignition coils

 

i think your a bunch of nancies that sit on the forum while im sitting under the car. so **** talk all you want ive done more to the car than most of the fat kids here. and how would you know whats its like driving a straight piped rx8? let me meet you and you can take mine for a spin. ill put money on it that ur catback is coming right off

 

You're posting while under the car? Now THAT's impressive. Can you post a DIY for your technique?

 

wheres that popcorn gif?

 

*looks under car* nope it's still attached

so wait you want me to put my cat back on the car and put smaller more restrictive size piping

 

 

Damn it, he's onto us guys. How'd he know we're all fat?

 

probably cause all we do is sit around and eat popcorn

 

also if you go back and re-read I'm not claiming any major gaines I just noticed a slight feel at the top end. hate away butthurt billys

 

still beat a new scion frs so im not a dead prius either

 

Hey, man yellow has a higher heat dissipation amalgamation than darker colors, so they work better and add 1000K rpm, so quicker to 11,000 rpm.




Plus, Red 8s are automatically slower than Lightning Yellows and Brilliant Blacks cause the added weight of the Mica paint coefficient adds more weight and drag, thus rendering any straight pipe gains moo.

 

Oh, the things that make a slow Friday at work better!

 

You seem to be the only one here hating and getting butt hurt. if you didnt clam any power gains why are you so hellbent on us getting walked on by your 8?
also alot of us here have more done to our 8s the just a custom smaller than stock size catback(which lowers power)

since you're new here why dont you read this about ten times and then reread it

my fiat is faster than the frs so thats not saying much
