Looking for real gains, and a louder sound, and earlier spool. Am I in store for that guys? If you have a testpipe post up with your experiences and supporting mods.

I currently have, Stage 1 Revo, Intake/heatshield, Forge DV, Borla Cat-Back Exhaust.

Gonna go Stage 2 next... I know thats a huge difference. But I'm hoping this testpipe will compliment my mods nicely

Thats the one I went with, looks like a quality product for a good price.

I'll keep you guys updated.

 

Oh, I wanna get a testpipe too, but i'm kinda of afraid with our IL emissions tests.

 

Ahh.. Yeah, do emissions then install it the next day. Thats what I'll be doing[8D]

 

nice remember to soak the bolts with pb blaster the niht before and let it do its job, it will make getting the old cat off much easier. gl

 

Alright, thanks for the tip Jeff

 

definitely soak those bolts! have some long extensions and a swivel will help as well... you will need a helping hand as well to get the downpipe bolts... i noticed quicker spool and a little more power... stage II will help the most

one thing that i noticed though is that my EGTs only took about a minute or so to return to normal operating temps when idling... i always take it easy the last few miles but my EGTs would still be in the 500c range when i stopped, now they are upper 400s and drop much quicker than before

 

What about the sound papa? Did you notice any major changes in that? I love the little crackles and pops our exhaust have, personally. More of that the better

And yeah, going Stage 2 next, definitely!

'EGTs' = What? Never heard that term suprisingly!

 

exhaust gas temps

 

Thanks jeff

 

I have stock exhaust and I hardly notice any increase in sound. I have GIAC 1+ and 380cc injectors...it definately feels like it spools quicker.
