my brother's '00 is slower on the low end now

v606er · May 5th, 2008, 03:46 AM

after he got dual flowmasters and an airfilter, his acceleration is less than it was stock. Any one know what he should do?

MWWarlord · May 5th, 2008, 04:03 AM

I'm really surprised that he was able to notice the difference. His car actually gained power. However, with his setup he did lose some back pressure. Basically he lost power in the low end...but it has moved higher up in his power band. Did he keep his cats? What size pipes did he go with? Both of these can affect the back pressure. The lower the back pressure the more he's gonna lose in the low end. But again remember that power isn't gone, it has just moved.

MWWarlord · May 5th, 2008, 04:05 AM

BTW I bet his MPG is better. And with more power in the upper band he should be able to pass people more easily. As far as what he should do...well I would suggest getting gears and a t-lok.

v606er · May 5th, 2008, 04:10 AM

he did keep the cats, but i dont know what size pipes he put on.

v606er · May 5th, 2008, 04:10 AM

o and ya he does have better mpg's now

shadow5403 · May 5th, 2008, 07:55 AM

to get better low end power im def gonna say t-lok, gears, tuner

xXsmokinaceXx · May 5th, 2008, 10:48 AM

ya those ups mixed with gears and t-lock will be sweet

riddlee josh · May 5th, 2008, 11:14 AM

so is that why my car starts off slow but once it gets to like 4000 rpms it takes off?

riddlee josh · May 5th, 2008, 11:28 AM

so to get more power in the low end do i just add a lil resistance to the exhaust?

Onemanzu · May 5th, 2008, 11:33 AM

get a tune...

i did full exhaust and opened it up, i was throwing some CEL's BUT its still bogged like hell... got it tune, now i have no problems what so ever

riddlee josh · May 5th, 2008, 11:35 AM

really well then that is def what im going to do next.
my next mod will def be a tunner

Onemanzu · May 5th, 2008, 11:38 AM

yea and if you do other small things, get a stronger coil and gap the plugs a little more you can gain a little bottom end, If you gear the car you will notice an increase as well

riddlee josh · May 5th, 2008, 11:43 AM

so what kind of gap are you talking? i will get new plugs soon. and i actually think i need a new coil pack. but i know i def need to save up for a tuner. urggg they are soo much. thanks for the info man.

itschristorres8 · May 5th, 2008, 12:12 PM

he probably got 2.5inch piping which is to big so yeah he'll lose back pressure inturn losing low end power
only way to gain it back is to get more air-more air=more power

Onemanzu · May 5th, 2008, 01:13 PM

.65 gap i think it was...

v606er · May 7th, 2008, 12:10 AM

what can be done to create more back pressure/fix the low end loss of torque?

cold air intake
bolt ons...more air to the motor itself and get more power

to fix the low end loss, gears would help. but to really gain it back youll need more air flowing thru the engine such as cai, ported and polished intakes and heads, something along those lines
