Message	you need the complete dyno chart and car setup to figure out what's going on here. i can make most any car have 5 to 50+ horsepower, through an intake or exhaust change. the only problem is, it sacrifices area under the tq curve everywhere else.. or make sharp transition tuned intake on an NA.. it'll make some kick ass power (think like 10% increase in power), but only over a 1000 rpm powerband... and you fall behind everywhere else on the dyno chart. absolutely great if we all drove with CVTs, which would be much better.. but that's another post. horsepower sells cars, midrange torque wins races. ____________________________________________ Z.. It's in the blood.
Follow Ups	Food for thought about 2.5" and 3" exhaust pipe sizing - T0M 22:23:48 09/11/03 It is NOT peak power, it is a smooth power band. Cmon people - SeedyROM 22:29:27 09/11/03 Oh and I don't mean to sound like a dick :) - SeedyROM 22:41:57 09/11/03 my traps were fast... 2.5" vs 3" proven wrong.. ;) (n/m) - Scotts94z32 05:04:58 09/12/03 they showed a 12 hp increase in a 300ish hp NA over - T0M 22:53:26 09/11/03 You're missing all the flaws in this test - SeedyROM 23:32:53 09/11/03 first off, my post title was "food for thought" not "etched - T0M 23:58:26 09/11/03 Understood...maybe if you had read my other post - SeedyROM 00:09:36 09/12/03 I didnt call you a dick. nor did I insult you once. (n/m) - T0M 00:13:33 09/12/03 hahah seedy you dick *GRIN* (n/m) - Silvrhand (pittsburgh) 08:04:18 09/12/03 test is more or less flawed. - zads 04:36:11 09/12/03 The 2.5 inch was w/ an H pipe. 3" was w/ X pipe. - Kenny 9 psi 23:21:02 09/11/03 Glad someone read the article. (n/m) - SeedyROM 23:33:34 09/11/03 the point was.... it didn't harm performance but in fact - T0M 23:38:37 09/11/03 Not to be the devil's advocate but two things: - SeedyROM 23:45:01 09/11/03 True not very scientific, but the 1/2" larger than 3" - T0M 00:08:43 09/12/03 Yeah, adding an X-pipe didn't hurt performance either. - SeedyROM 00:14:26 09/12/03 x-pipes are for low-to-midrange torque. - T0M 00:23:30 09/12/03 Intarwebb != real life. (n/m) - Kenny 9 psi 00:15:35 09/12/03 kinda funny - JunomeanGF 00:24:14 09/12/03 No doubt. I'll let someone else play with this. - SeedyROM 00:35:52 09/12/03 I walked my girl out mid-post so the window was open - T0M 00:43:12 09/12/03 Not trying to sound like a dick btw :) - T0M 00:45:25 09/12/03
