I think stock Z's are supposed to lose 20%, so 287*.8 = 229.6

which is what I ran basically...I didn't expect the exhaust modification to make a difference in power and the popcharger is good for about 5hp to the wheels or something (when it's clean I guess). So I think I'm right where I should be. If I get the chance to dyno it again for free, I'll try to do it 3 ways; with the stock muffler, without it, and with my custom piece. Maybe I'll clean my air filter too before then.

 

stock dynos can differ quiet a bit. I usally see 230's, a few 240 somethings. But the actual dynos used and the weather can make a big difference as well.

 

Nooo...flybys are erassed. Had u dynoed ur car in stock form before??

 

I can probably take some more fly-by videos real quick one day

I never dynoed the car stock

 

do it buddy

 

Woah I think that sounds bad ***... Any dyno tests/results?

 

go back a page...yes and no...ill post the video i took of the dynos as soon as i get someone to edit it for me

 

sorry this is pretty late but i had to get my friend to make the file size smaller for me...its pretty funny at the end...he put some gay *** song in and didn't tell me

video quality suffered a little, but sound is still good enough

enjoy:

kool vid man..car soundz good man

 

i was changing my y pipe and mid pipe tonite and i was curious on how it would sound like without the y back...... WHOA. I'm convinced. I was defanitely contemplating driving it around...... but then again, the police here would hear me a mile away and fine me big time. It sounded like some kind of race car or something. My roommates were in their bedrooms and they thought I had woken up some sort of demon car. Nice.....

 

i think it was just bad gas...

 

well u cooked too....

 

Lol just dont take the stock resonator off, unless you want to sound like a rice rocket. i did that once.... there were no survivors

 

Yeah, I did that too a couple years ago. Took it to a muffler shop and had them cut out the resonator and weld in a piece of straight pipe in it's place. When the car was cold it sounded like A$$!! It buzzed like crazy and just sounded really ricey and bad. I must admit though that once the exhaust heated up, it sounded pretty good especially with the high-flow cats. I would have kept it like that just for the sound, but I could DEFINITELY feel that I lost power with the resonator gone. I don't know if it was not enough back pressure, or too much, but there absolutely was a loss of power. I never got any dyno numbers without it off, but the butt-dyno could really tell the difference with and without it. I bought another mid-pipe with the stock resonator and swapped it out after about 2 weeks.

 

some reason it says i need a plugin for putfile

anyway u can host it somewhere else? i really want to hear

 

god damn you

just kidding, but not really, what can you watch videos on? i might be able to email it/them or aim-send it

give me an email address or aim name and a time youll be on...some crap like that

 

vrrroommmm!!!!!!!!

 

mmm okay ! got plugin. i like the sound. for a small mod! im thinking of doing this

 

ok ...
if you drive around without the muffler...
dont they pull you over for not having exhaust tips?

 

no, but it might prompt them to pull you over if they realize that and then start thinking about how loud it is

like we've said a bunch of times, it's not THAT loud and I don't think you would get pulled over for it...but then again, you never know

if you've got the time and small amount of money it costs, it's definitely fun as hell to drive around with
