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.

Getting strapped down.

Ready to rock

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.

Mid Range

Top end

Plans
Replace stock filters - Done
Replace post MAF tubes
Install CBE
Test MD intake mani
Tune

Hope this was helpful guys, any ?'s on anything PM away.

Cheers and Happy New Year to all.

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

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 ;-)

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...
