Just wanted to share some pics of my open exhaust.

 

Do you have more pictures and sound clips?

How does the car feel now ?
NO check engine light ?

 

Here another one.

 

Last one.

 

I don't have a sound clip right now but I can get one if someone can host it. (Its a unique and extremely loud sound)

As for the check engine light, it will not come on because the turn downs are connected to the cats.

The horsepower is great! I personally could not feel a difference in power and actually it felt slower but I raced two 350's on Saturday and ran away from both of them. You can ask Swisha350z about the power difference.

 

cool!
How far did you pull away from them ?

Save a lot of weight too huh ?

So I don't think you can run this setup on the street though

 

COOL!!!

 

Pics from rear ?

 

I was able to pull approximately two cars at about 100 mph. With my other mod I really pulled on both 350's.

It saves some weight no alot though because I left my muffler and
premuffler on the car.

I don't have a pic from behind because you can't see the turn downs because I have my muffler in place.

 

Nice, what other mods do you have?

You can host the sound clip on Yahoo isn't it?

 

im sure it doesnt sound like a v8, but does it sound like rice civics and such? (blah)
i would be interested in this possibly

 

You will gain 4 hp... This has been dyno'd locally.

 

oh...
4hp isn't much compare to the power aftermarket exhaust systems then...

Thought it was a good setup for track...

Cool idea though

 

I will get some sound clips and host them as soon as I can. It definitely doesn't sound like a fart can but your right not like a V8, its unique and deep.

I don't know about 4 hp gain because Swisha350z's 350 and my car were the same and we couldn't pull on one and another. With just the open exhaust I can pull on him like I said about two cars at about 100 mph. I don't think I would pull like that with only four additional horses. I may be wrong though.

My other free mod is I removed the air compressor belt. With no A/C belt and the open exhaust I just run away from other Z's. I mean big difference in power even though the butt dyno doesn't feel like it. I will try to get a current baseline and then dyno with this setup to see how much power I make from baseline.

 

Looking forward to your new post

 

gotta love texas! also stx, do you know anything about joining the military and whether or not your vehicle has to abide by other states emissions/smog laws if said vehicle is registered in texas???
joining the air force and i was just wondering...

Franklinz, I don't know how that affects you in other states. You can have turn downs welded to flanges so you can remove them and reinstall the Y to pass inspection.

 

I can't see how this would make a difference. The A/C compressor should be clutched meaning that it is only turning when the A/C is on. The pulley may turn but, the compressor will not be engaged until you turn on the A/C. The downside is you run the risk of hurting the A/C system since the seals do not get lubricated unless the compressor is running.

 

You get horsepower because even when the A/C clutch is disengaged its still has weight on the crack. If you don't believe me try turning it by hand with the clutch disengaged. I tried it by hand to see and I couldn't turn it thats why I decided to try it to see if it made a difference in performance.

Here is the link to the sound clips.
