I finally got an exhaust!

[blownturbotsi]

Now what do I do!?! I'm used to running open o2 and my car is a bit slower than before. I'm guessing I'd be lucky to trap 111-112 now, but that's neither here nor there.

My question is: I am still on the stock exhaust manifold and o2 housing, they are ported, but how much of a difference would a FP race manifold and a tubular o2 make for spool and power? My spool is a couple hundred slower as well.

If you're looking to squeeze every bit of RPM out then go for it. But since you ported them already, I wouldn't consider it worth it.

You'd probably notice faster spool w/ the FP race mani compared to the stock 1g.

 

[GSpikeX]

I would go with the FP if you have the cash or just en evo III so you won't have to worry about the cracking.

 

[PRJTstealth]

i would go with a dnp tubular if you have the cash and a tubular o2 housing is a good plus as well

How did you manage a 13.467 with a 111 trap speed? That must've been a wicked launch!

 

[blownturbotsi]

I'm not too big on going tubular, I'm not sure that I want to spend that kind of money for a tubular just to be replaced later when I get the T4 hotside. FP Race manifold sounds promising, can it be ported? As far as o2 housings go, I would like at least a 2 1/2in since I haven't seen very many 3in ones.

That's actually a very, very slow time for a 111 trap. I think that my 60' was 2.2 since I didn't launch it and it took a couple of tries to get into 2nd gear. New tranny is being built now to rectify that though.

 

[JusMX141]

I meant that sarcastically.

My buddy's Ion Redline ran the EXACT same pass last week (13.4/111) and he's only turning 2 wheels.

Practice launching with that new tranny, get your 60ft down to 1.7 and you'll be clocking low 12's or maybe an 11. You have Prothanes? That'll make sure your 1-2 shift goes smooth as butter with the new tranny!

 

[blownturbotsi]

I only got one chance to launch it that night, pulled a 1.9 and almost went into the other lane. :-/ I think I'll build less boost off the line since I have a full exhaust, maybe it'll help calm the spinning.

On topic: Anyone know of 3in o2 housings that are mass produced?

Meh, I guess it's 2.5 for me.

 

[jared]

how much was your exhaust? I would like to put a system on mine

 

[blownturbotsi]

I got mine from a friend that built it for 100 bucks. I'm also going to help him swap in a Z06 tranny to his Vette though.

You can find exhausts all over for good deals, just keep on the lookout.

 

[jared]

anyone know of any exhaust's that dont give the typical "rice burner" sound?

 

[blownturbotsi]

Mine sounds very deep and it's an eBay muffler I believe. Do you have a GS or GST? Magnaflow and Dynomax cans sound really nice. My old exhaust is a 2.5 with a Dynomax and it sounded nice as well. I'll see if I can't get a clip of this new exhaust for you.

 

[jared]

that would be great, I have a GS-T, Im not wanting to have the "rice burner" sound, looking for a more deep tone.

 

[JusMX141]

Just a little food for thought.....if it's a turbo car, it can never have the "ricer buzz." Any exhaust you find will sound deep and throaty.

 

[kris_stewart10]

ACTUALLY

i dont think its just turbo cars because before mine was a gst it was a gs

and it sounded deep and throaty and my car was not that great i get made fun of down here because i drive a dsm but they dont say anything after i pass them up

I wish that I was able to hear a clip online before purchasing. Maybe I will check youtube
