Question after installing my cat delete test pipe i noticed....

that instead of peaking at a sliver under 6lbs im now at a sliver under 7lbs... also everytime i let off the gas i swear it sounds like a blow off... is that supposed to happen? i mean its not loud and i can only hear it when no cars are around and my stereo is off... its a very faint sound... just wondering if anyone else noticed things like this after installing this...

the pipe i have is the 034 motorsports cat delete test pipe with new gaskets and bolts and also i have the o2 sensor extension for the post cat sensor which is why i have no cel popping up

Im not too sure about the sound but before i installed my 3inch test pipe i was spiking at 15lbs with the diode mod. and after i installed it i accidentally spiked to 22lbs. probably had somewhat of a clogged cat not allowing the turbo to breathe.

Your turbo is just breathing as it should now, so be happy! Any CELs, or did you use spacers

lol that just what i noticed because at first i couldnt turn it past 15psi. so you probably gained 1psi because your turbo could breathe better

nope i got the o2 spacer... everything works like a charm... i did notice though when i first took it for a drive yesterday after everything was installed it smelled like something was burning... but i figure that was just whatever was on the pipe lol... no more smells as of today
