If you did not let it warm up before shut down. There will be a noticable power increase, depending on your current CAT condition. Mine was bad, so in theory it was more than a 8HP gain. I have the stock exhaust on with Tips extended out past bumper at 3.5 inches. I bet money it would pass inspection. There is another thread I read to support that. Someone passed with a midpipe.
The CAT on this car faces demise due to the nature of the car. To run properly, the car needs to warm up to temp for ECU reasons. Until the temp gauge moves to the normal point, it runs rich. Correct me if I am wrong, but the EGT at idle is easily 800. During the warm up the CAT is basicly an afterburner in reverse. They should have installed a toaster oven. In six months that chrome pipe has turned black. Tell me that aint some heat. All that heat conducts back up into the header and to all the other parts. Getting that heat away has got to add life to the engine. |

there you have it |
Will this work with a turbo kit or will i have problems with the boost pressure??overboost etc..
|
Your boost pressure will increase, with less back pressure. If you have a turbo, you should get it tuned again if you get this.
|
So better to go with a cat system with a 3" pipe..I ll see what i ll do..damn this tuning hits my nerves..Nobody can handle it here...I am anxious
|
The race pipe will give you more hp, but there are trade offs like emissions, noise, and smell.
|
and if i wont tune i can blow up my turbo...As for the noise i am used to it with my single exhaust..Well the turbo will quiet it up..anyhow thanks mate
