downpipe on
Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 4:16 am
Got the Invidia divorced downpipe on the car just in time to take a trip down to Hallet for the 1st endurance race of the year. My mileage on the trip down was 3 mpg better than I have ever gotten out of the car. Lost about 20 lbs total and that is off the front of the car where it will do more good. I could have lost more, but I got the downpipe with a cat.
I just had a muffler shop hook the downpipe to the stock exhaust for now. I did run the car down to the shop with the open pipe and all I can say about it is it was LOUD and the car ran like crap when it was on boost. All I could think was the computer hadn't learned how to cope with the extra flow yet. I hope the car runs good when I get the rest of the exhaust done. What has other peoples experience been?
