[QUOTE=LiquidZ;650558]Now I know a turbo will create some of its own back pressure and that is why you can go to a 3 inch full exhaust, so does a SC create its own back pressure too like a turbo?

[QUOTE=LiquidZ;650558]I have no idea why, but have read this in several other places besides here. I think I even remember some manufacturers recommending smaller exhaust setups when using SC. Could just be internet rumor, I'll see if I can find out any more info on this.


edit: A blurb about it here:
http://www.alpine-developments.com/d...l%20-%20V1.pdf

but I'm foinding just as much or more about how backpressure doesn't effect it. It's clear something is effecting his power output be it his exhaust, installation, or faulty hardware.

[QUOTE=Zsteve;650762]Nope, its mounted in front of the engine, and has absolutely no direct impact on backpressure.

[QUOTE=LiquidZ;650765]Then because of this we need to stay at about 2.5 inch for our exhaust but I would think that a HFC will still provide some back pressure unlike testpipes?

Again, I don't believe ANY car with a supercharger installed needs backpressure to operate efficiently. You'll definitely want a 2.5" CBE, though.

[QUOTE=Zsteve;650755]Living in Cali is very easy to get caught now. I even heard CHP officers have a device to measure your cats temp lol. Last year I got pulled over for just having my CBE. Cop didn't even hear it whether its loud or not. He say my tips are too big then asked me to pop my hood. Luckily I was all stock at that time. But yeah, things got really strict here recently. Hopefully we get the CARB sticker asap!

[QUOTE=weiboy718;650856]so you can smoke dope but not have a carb legal CBE or HFC? Cali is getting backwards. So why do the motorcycles get to be so loud and not cars?

[QUOTE=Zsteve;650938]Forreals! It's legal to smoke weed legally and cannot legally have mods on cars.

Motorcycles and trucks are exempt.

[QUOTE=Zsteve;650938]On the november ballot (prop 19) in california there will be a vote to legalize pot for everyone over 21 for personal use. You are allowed up to one ounce, and grow your own in a space of up to 25 square feet. supposedly they are going to start to crack down on the motorcycles also

[QUOTE=tomnavone;650971]Yeah, it's crazy now! I live in SF and people are just blazing up everywhere hahaha.

Cali's car laws are insane. If they are so concerned, have the car pass or fail a sniffer test, none of this visual "maybe it looks too funny" bullshite law enforcment seems to use.

Just another way for The Man to keep you down.

Now, back on-topic? :D

Wow, Stillen makes a Supercharger?

lmao!!:bowrofl:

Yessir! Indeed! Nissan seems to be their specialty. Turbos, too. Oh the joy.
