Z sounded like a monster truck
not really a mod...but an experiment
so .....me and my buddy were bored yesterday and we decided to put the Z up on ramps and see if theres anything we can do. you know, kinda in the experimentation mode. so we Put the Z up.
Recently i had removed the Resonator and replaced it with a 2.5 FLANGED straight pipe.
So we took that out and left it off......In other words, it was running nothing after the Y pipe.........
MAN....when i started that thing up....wow.......it gnarled and gargled like it was a detroit muscle car
it was so loud ....neighbors complained.....well thats probably because i was going up and down the street like a mad man
so then after 20 minutes......it happend......i got pulled over:
as sooon as the cop pulled me over, i shut off the car and rolled down the windows ( illegal exhaust crap/ tint= illegal in chicago)
he bitched and moaned for twenty minutes and finally let me go
i went back to my buddys place and put it back on
when i left 30 minutes later
the cop was still waiting for mebut lucky for me he didnt bother again
but aside from that.....the Z sounded like a BEASSST...but it seemedlike there was a lack of power, either because of back pressure or because it was so loud i couldnt pay attention to the power....it just seemed slower.
But its a silly experiment everyone should try.
