Going to go O/R X pipe , for all those who have done this

Saleen0101 · August 3rd, 2011, 06:09 PM

Was it worth it? Any major loss in lower end torque? I am about to install dr gas off road x pipe and my major concern is the CEL light. I heard people having mixed results with just the MIL eliminators and also the spark plug anti foulers. I would just hate the headache if the cel light comes back on . Any one ever buy from the site or heard of them??

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yea, you'll gain a little HP but with the x pipe your going to lose a little low end torque. And no i haven't, I've just got the MIL's off AM website. Hope these work though if you get them. Like to know myself.

MILs should work fine. Any power gains or losses (which I doubt you'll lose anything) won't be noticable. It sure will sound better though! I had a UPR xpipe on my 88 and it was sweet! and it was cheap and fit like a glove. sounded nice with my Macs

Probably not, with my longtubes i did notice (from the seat of my pants dyno) a small low end torque loss but TOTALLY makes up for it in the upper rpms.

also wtf is a spark plug anti fouler?

A cheap way to make a home made MIL eliminator.

I didnt really feel the low end loss it kinda noticable but I really noticed it once i put hi flow cats on my o/r x my wife noticed the pick up down low was back as soon as she drove my car too vs the o/r set up. but it sreamed up top though.

Same here.

When you're just rolling around at low RPM you feel like you lost a little, but when you hammer on it around 3500RPM it really comes alive. You'll notice a difference at high RPM, and it will be significantly louder.

Well guys got it done, all I can say is WOW. It puts a grin on my face like no other.. also I get a ton of head turns and it really gets attention like it never has when I had cats on. Its like the perfect volume, not too quiet or too loud. The sound with Dr gas X has zero drone, raw ,nascar sounding pitch, sounds like a race car. WOT of course is like super loud , but I wont open up in the city unless im on a back road or out of major population. As far as the low end torque, i didnt really feel any loss if any at all, dont know if that had to do with the dr gas x , but all in all im satisfied
