nice..!

OK - Cold Data time.

I dropped in the stock filters prior to trip today as previous runs had been with stock airbox config.
The only mods at time of pull were, MD ART TP's, Y pipe, stock ECU, i.e. no tune.

One of the pulls.

Data (seems my butt is a calibrated tool ;-))

Light Blue = My Vehicle Stock
Dark Blue = My vehicle - TP's Full CBE , tune for AFR and timing.
Red = Today, ART pipes, Y pipe, Stock ECU.

Conclusion - Yep they work, best bang for buck thus far, with an AFR tweak I feel I could pick up another 5 or so mid range and up top, its running a little lean but not pulling timing, just feel it would benefit from a tweak.
Impressed at the entire curve, even when compared against my Z in its most aggressive fromat the current mods perform better and a fraction of the cost, my budget mod project has proven a good one, if you compare the stock vehicle to the vehicle as she sat on the dyno today the $$ to Performance ratio is very appealing.

Low end.

awesome dude! nice numbers!

Kastley85891 12-31-2010 04:39 PM

Thanks man - she feels very good. Nice to have the solid data to wrap the review up for sure.
I think with the full listed parts on she should be pretty zippy

G37sHKS 12-31-2010 04:59 PM

wth? i see a lose in low end in ART test pipes why???? i thought the magic of ART test pipes is because they have more power in low end than any other after market cats...

Kastley85891 12-31-2010 05:02 PM

No idea, thats the data, mid is strong, suits me ;-)

G37sHKS 12-31-2010 05:21 PM

yeah mid is awesome man, gratz on ur mods btw..

i guess a full catback might get those low end up and be higher than ur previous setup

flashburn 12-31-2010 05:22 PM

So since these are basically test pipes, how bad does your exhaust smell? Is it noticeable?

Kastley85891 12-31-2010 05:32 PM

Good ? , on cold start you can notice it, when warm and during day not an issue.

G37 - I think so man, with other mods it would be fun.

G37sHKS 12-31-2010 05:42 PM

hey can you tell me what was ur previous exhaust and test pipes?
and what is brand is the new y pipe?

Kastley85891 12-31-2010 05:47 PM

INVIDIA TP's F.I. Exhuast mated to a gutted stock muffler

New Y pipe is an ebay special - surewinproducts 99.99 to my door ;-)

Boost_lee 12-31-2010 07:09 PM

Thanks once again! Love your exhaust experimentation and documentation.

I wasn't going to do test pipes, but now I'm thinking long and hard about it...
