That doesn't make you smart OR knowledgeable, as evidenced by 99% of your posts.

Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you actually understand the concepts.

Besides, aren't scientists and engineers all about factual data and proof?

we're still waiting for proof from all your bogus claims!

Then why dont you just click on over to politics section Einstien. You dont want to hang out with us low life. Common sense is something that can't be learned and looks like you are living proof. Education doesn't impress us. I went to RPI (Top five engineering school in the country). No one give a FLYING fock.

like i said to your friend , stop saying that iam BSing because at the end you will really feel dum, stop digging yourself any deeper. you think i have nothing else but going video myself spinning my car or dyno it? so until i have time to do that i advise you to calm down because trust me you will be disappointed at the end.

I may not have a PhD from Screw-U in Engineering, but at least I can spell a simple 4 letter word and know a bit of what I'm talking about (you know, COMMON SENSE!)

I may be American, but I'm not ignorant. I can use my previous Latin experience to deciper a few words in spanish, french, and italian........romance languages.

Then again, what does it matter? We're talking about how full of BS you are on whatever automotive subject you speak.

Dr.G you are a complete moron. You truly have no clue about what your talking about, you reference articles to back up your BS claims, and you will forever be knows as the f@g who talks $hit about how he ran "12.8 not trying hard" and cant post a slip, a website link, or a breakdown of the slip to prove it. Next time dont talk BS you cant back up, just read the posts and dont respond to anything people like you make other Stillen owners and Z owners in general look stupid. I feel like Im on clubsi.com with guys making false claims with no proof. Now post a slip or go away, your embarassing yourself.

You have a point, but I disagree and your route is not for me. You start mixing and matching parts from numerous, different manufacturers and let's say you have a problem with how the car runs... who do you go to. Each manufacturer will always say the other guy's parts are the problem and their parts in the equation are perfect. Ok so you say the shop that does your work already has that all worked out with the differing manufacturers involved. Sounds good on paper, but not always in practice. At the end of the day, the shop and parts makers have your money and it is your car and you that run the risk if all these arrangements go wrong. Not saying you can't do it your way with success, but some of us had rather deal with one manufacturer and have less headaches. If you go with all APS parts and through an APS dealer, their are advantages.

I also like dealing with one manufacturer since their parts have been tested together and you have objective info on how well they work together. I like this route since the APS parts also have high reliability and work real well together performance wise. And since APS has now come out with their extreme performance fuel system, 3.5 inch test pipes, and 3 inch exhaust, for most of the power needs of most of us, it is also a better setup than most of the mix and match turbo setups. With APS, I see the best of all world's. But to each, his own.

yup sure is easier, but a good mechanic can trouble shoot problems anyway to find what the source of the issues are.

if you're doing the install yourself, you might be in trouble with a bunch of mixed and matched parts.

it's not THAT overly complicated though and a competent mechanic can narrow down the possible causes usually pretty well. Going a 100% APS route is probably a simpler route than other methods

I'll say it again. 3.5" test pipes to 3" exhaust=bottleneck=not good. whatever bs excuse aps says for it is just that, bs. you should NEVER bottleneck exhaust, ever. Supra guys don't do it, other nissan guys don't do it, why all of a sudden does it make sense to do this?

i dunno, but I somehow don't think a dual 3" exhaust is a bottleneck at all unless you're running I dunno like 900+whp

you re right, (better to have one diameter all the way) but here not much of an issue , a small bend could be more restrictive.
