1989Gt. · July 18th, 2009, 10:38 PM

It feels slower to me is that possible like alot slower or am i just being weird?
It took about 3 hours due to studs not coming out... (had to cut them) its pypes by the way i like the way it sounds its amazing really

Mlx50man · July 18th, 2009, 10:45 PM

well, now that you have more bark you probably think its to slow for the way it sounds. ha

he said pypes ^^ lol

1989Gt. · July 18th, 2009, 10:49 PM

So would there be a reason it feels like so

viperlocc · July 18th, 2009, 10:51 PM

cant just throw on an exhaust and expect a performance increase. one thing works with another such as intake/headers/exhaust...helps it breath more in and out.

Chris951 · July 19th, 2009, 12:01 AM

Yeah but he's saying it feels slower than before. I think it's because its so loud. I know when I'm in a quiet car you can feel the power. But when you're in a loud car, you expect it to be really fast but most of the time it isnt. This is why I'm trying to quiet mine down..

pypes really isn't a loud system but it is louder then stock and flows more then stock so it's most likely not any slower just didn't gain the 3000hp to the wheels like everyone advertises

1989Gt. · July 19th, 2009, 04:00 AM

oh no i really didnt expect a big increase at all as much as i would like it and its way louder then stock thats for damn sure... but anyways what i mean is if i didnt seal something right would it make a difference like a exhaust leak cause i didnt see any but idk i think your right about it being loud

if you have a leak before the o2 sensor, and its big enough, it could skew your readings, but not at WOT tho.

black89GT · July 19th, 2009, 11:22 AM

and u should be able to hear it if u listen, if there is a leak.

Chris951 · July 19th, 2009, 01:18 PM

Yeah dude you would hear a leak. I have a header leak and it ticks so loud

+1 its annoying enough that you'd notice it.

I had to fix mine last winter.

did u disconnect ur battery, then reconnect when u were done? its not a big mod, but ur computer needs to relearn all over again, because the car will perform differently with the mod.

1fst5.0 · July 19th, 2009, 04:02 PM

once u reconnect, u gotta drive like u stole it, so ur computer knows that ur driving for performance, not fuel economy.

Chris951 · July 19th, 2009, 06:47 PM
